Neglecting the habit of cleaning your Viking stovetop can be very unsanitary and dangerous. Apart from looking nasty, grease splatters and bits of food stuck to your stovetop also attract all kinds of bacteria and insects. Moreover, all that stuff building up on top of your cooktop increases the risk of setting your home on fire.
Every single time you use your cooking range; you need to wipe the top of your cooking range with a damp sponge. This will prevent some serious scrubbing later on and will only take a second. You need to set up some warm water and mix a little soap in, at least once a week. Using a stiff scrubbing pad, scrub the entire top of your Viking range. To clean stubborn spots, pour a little Soft Scrub directly onto the range top and let it remain there for a couple of minutes. Grab a can of your favourite oven cleaner, if you are dealing with a particularly nasty stain.
The Burners On Your Viking Range
Making sure you keep the burners clean and grease-free is the best way to prevent a range fire from starting in your home. Many people take one look at them and think they’ll be way too difficult to scrub. This is not true at all. Avoiding soaking the burners is the best way to make sure your burners remain grease-free. Instead, wipe them down with soapy water and let them dry. You should invest in a product called Bar Keeper’s Friend if you do notice some rust starting to form on your burners.
The Sealed Burner Top
Making sure that you wipe down the Viking range’s sealed burner top and the burner bowls with warm water after every use is the best way to maintain their beauty.
The Grill Plate
Use some warm water and a soft-bristle brush to clean the grill plate while it is still hot. You can also refer to the manual to see what they say about deep cleaning the grill plate.
The Rest Of The Range
You can use the same soapy water you used on your stovetop to wipe the front of your oven. If your oven doesn’t have a self-cleaning feature, you’ll have to wipe down the interior with soapy water. This will help keep food from damaging the inner workings. Just keep in mind to stay away from the infrared broiler as it is a very delicate part.
