Appliance Care Tips By Zalmen Pollak
Introduction Cleanliness helps to increase the life of appliances. Due to the advancement of technology appliances have changed into some of the most stylish and appropriate household products. Consequently, the appliances have also become an important investment. Suitable maintenance is a necessity to retain the extremely valuable items running efficiently for as long as possible.
Refrigerator and Freezer Clean the coils underneath the refrigerator to ensure that the compressor fan can pass fresh air. Unplug the machine, pull out the vent plate that covers the coils, and use vacuum pressure hose to clean them. Maintain your door gasket clean and free of sticky residue that can cause the gasket to weaken and compromise the closing seal. Defrost the freezer when frost builds up.
Dishwasher
Take out the racks and baskets – clean them and then brush your inside surfaces, edges, and linings. Put the pieces back inside and run the appliance while empty with a little detergent.
Stove Clean burners with a wet rag and dish soap or with a stovecleaning solvent. In case you have a gas stove, understand how to safely relight the pilot; blue flames indicate that the stove is working at full efficiency. Burners for electric stoves usually can be easily and inexpensively replaced.
Air Conditioner
Like the refrigerator, the air conditioning coils need to be cleaned periodically by running the vacuum brush over them. At the same time, clean or replace the filter if necessary.
Washing Machine Cleaning the washing machine may seem to be redundant, but it is an important part of maintaining the unit. Drops of detergent can splash onto the control panel and run under the knobs and buttons. Wipe the outside surface of the machine with a damp cloth to remove any build-up. If your washing machine rattles when it runs, it may need leveling.
Water Heater Heating water costs money and energy. You can help the heater run more efficiently and lower power bills by wrapping it in insulation to keep the heat concentrated in the unit and prevent it from radiating out.
Dryer Lint and debris that accumulate in the lint trap and around or under the dryer may become a fire hazard. Clean the lint trap after each use and maintain the area around the dryer clear. Clean the outside vent every year and make sure it opens when the dryer is on and closes properly when the dryer is off.
