The frequency of cleaning and maintenance for kitchen appliances can vary depending on usage, but here are some general guidelines:
Oven:
- Clean the oven thoroughly at least once every three months.
- Spot clean spills and stains as soon as they occur.
- Check and replace drip pans or removable burner grates as needed.
- Clean the oven hood and filter once a month or as needed.
- Keep the oven door clean on a weekly basis.
Refrigerator:
- Clean the interior of the refrigerator every month.
- Wipe down spills and leaks as they occur.
- Deep clean and defrost the freezer once a year or as needed.
- Vacuum the refrigerator coils every six months to remove dust and debris.
- Check and replace water filters regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions.
These are general recommendations, and you may need to adjust the frequency based on how heavily you use your appliances and your specific circumstances. Additionally, always refer to the appliance's user manual for any manufacturer-recommended cleaning and maintenance instructions.
