The range is the centerpiece of your kitchen. Whether you’re searing steaks or simmering sauces, keeping it clean isn’t just about looks—it’s about protecting the finish and the electronics for the long haul:

• Skip the Foil: It’s tempting to line the bottom of the oven to catch drips, but this blocks vital airflow and heat distribution. Instead, place a baking sheet on the rack below the food to catch spills.
• Wipe Spills Promptly: Acidic or sugary spills (like tomato sauce or pie filling) can damage the finish if left to bake on. Wait for the surface to cool slightly, then wipe them up with a damp cloth.
• Protect the Control Panel: When cleaning the knobs and display, spray your cleaner onto a cloth rather than directly onto the panel. This prevents liquid from seeping behind the electronics and causing damage.
