Before working on any appliance, Turn off the breaker
or unplug the appliance
to prevent electrical shock.
Dishwasher
•
When loading the dishwasher, try not to place dishes
over the pop up spray arm, on the lower rack. This restricts
the flow of water and can cause the dishes not to come
clean.
•
To reduce spotting and have the dishes come out sparkling
clean. Use the Jet Dry product, whether you have a dispenser
or the one that just hangs
from the upper rack.
•
Running your dishwasher at least once every two weeks
helps keep the seals wet. This prevents them from drying
out and causing leaks.
Disposer
•
This cleans the blades and helps with odors. Put a little
cleanser and a bunch of ice down in the disposer, turn
the water on to a small trickle, and then turn on the disposer
till the ice is gone. Run water thru the disposer to make
sure its clean.
Dryer
•
Clean the lint filter after every load, if it gets
full it will increase
the time it takes to dry clothes.
•
Cleaning out your vent hose on occasion will
help the flow of air and
dry time.
Microwave
•
Simply placing a paper towel over food in the microwave
will keep your
microwave a little cleaner.
Oven/Range/Cooktop
•
You can place your drip pans in the dishwasher to clean
them.
•
Lining your drip pans with foil can damage or short out
the element.
•
Always use a pan the same size as the element/burner.
If you put a small pan on the large element/burner it doesn't
cook as evenly and it is possible you
will burn yourself.
Refrigerator/Freezer
•
Leaving a box of baking soda in the refrigerator or freezer
helps reduce
odors.
•
Cleaning the condenser coils of your refrigerator makes
your refrigerator
run more efficient.
Trash Compactor
•
Always place your trash in the compactor in such a way
to prevent food from getting on the ram. This can significantly
reduce odor problems.
•
Placing one of the stick up deodorizers, on the inside
of the door helps
reduce odors.
Vent Hood
•
To clean your aluminum filters just place them in the
dishwasher.
