A: You may be able to repair - to find company that cleaning. Calls to half - dozen companies in the Washington, they found a - commercial refrigeration and appliances (703-338-8710; dmvappliancerepair.com ).

The combination of food and heat splashing makes them difficult to clean ovens. To make the variety of the affected areas: stainless steel, polished steel, cast iron, porcelain enamel, and optionally aluminum, and a printed surface. Although an alkaline or mild abrasives may be just what you need, on the one hand, the other could damage.

The materials for certain parts used vary by manufacturer and model, so you can not only do you go find online cleaning. For example, recommend some sites, the use of sodium bicarbonate. This could be good if the room has an anodized, painted surface, are sold as Viking ranges today. But Viking stoves did when I was his, that part was bare aluminum, said Dorian Olson, a service technician Viking. Sodium bicarbonate and other alkaline cleaning products discolor aluminum.

For stainless steel, Viking, like many manufacturers recommend hot soapy water and a soft cloth with a massage with a microfiber cloth in the end. But when the nozzles accumulate or rust, you need something stronger. Olson recommends rest with a soft cloth and WD-40 Multi-Use Product or serious remover. These products do not scratch the stainless steel.

go if that's not enough, rub on the superfine steel wool (0000), and only in the direction of the brushed surface. On the stove, the "grain" is horizontal, Olson said. Rubbing with steel wool or other abrasive, change the appearance, but once the dirt is gone, you can view the entire back wall and restore rub a uniform appearance.

Viking ranges plates are "machined steel with Blanchard finished," says the brochure cleaning company. That means it's just the bare steel a flat earth with a rotary mill, such as barbecue is in many brands. The main problem is that if it can not rust wet. Viking recommends cleaning after "heavy draft" of mineral water at room temperature on the hot plate when it has cooled, but still warm. remove bubbles dirt, retains heat from the hot plate of the movable residue, and and to prevent the temperatures of the media path soda and the cooktop a crash, as might be the flooding of a hot plate with cold water in distortion or even cracks. After cleaning the iron Viking time with a paper towel with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil without salt (non-coated cooking spray, wetted rubbing, because it contains water or corn oil, with a high sugar combustion). Wait to flow an hour for the oil, then wipe off the excess.

Among the bars, the glasses are black enamel. It is certainly an oven cleaner using spills to solve stubborn in porcelain enamel, but manufacturers do not always recommended for a cook, splash because of the risk of other surfaces, Olson Remedy: Apply the cleaner to the oven for a cotton cloth or paper towel, then saturated fabric against spillage. Wait the recommended time to soften the debris, then clean and rinse well. Or in the parts that are removable, take it out and spray the bottom with newspaper.

Most new range ovens are self-cleaning settings. If you need to clean stains, soak a cloth Olson trick with an oven cleaner also works here. But be careful, when the oven door is cleaned. Not cleaner or rinse water can seep into the ventilation slots or liquid between the glass panes of the door.

In order to clean the surfaces of the window, the use of Olson recommends a new razor blade of an edge at an acute angle held on the side of the glass furnace. Cushions the glass with a little water or a glass cleaner. There doing a glass cleaner and a soft cloth usually do the trick.
