Some Cleansing Cares Of Ovens

We know that one day everything will be no more, we cannot prevent things of our daily use from logical ending, but we can do efforts to prolong their span of life. Among such items, ovens are must cooking appliance of every kitchen. Due to necessity of appliance in daily culinary purposes, we require uninterrupted output for longer time.

In order to avoid unnecessary appliance repairs take care of your oven. As caring starts with cleaning, so let’s peep some useful cleansing precautions that could help in restoring the condition of oven.

  • Usually ovens are used for baking and roasting, for cooking at such extensive level, it operates at 350 F or high temperatures. 
  • Technically, the inner surface of oven contains coating of catalytic mixture to minimize the high temperature. While cleaning the inside of oven, avoid scratching and scrubbing of coating film, as it get damaged easily and make functioning improper.
  • Prevent walls of oven from food spilling, as food deposits turns into hard glazing surface that eventually damages the oxidizing action of chemical. In order to avoid spilling of food, it’s advised to use utensils bigger than the food. Alternatively, you could spread foil or cookie sheet at the base of bottom rack to catch the food spills. While spreading foil it should be ensured that heavy foil isn’t blocking gas vents or touching electric oven’s heating element. If you want to learn about the usage of foil in your oven, then check the user manual of your own device, and follow the mentioned instructions.
  • Usually ovens have some predetermined amount of soil from cooking operations, when oven attains high temperature, a catalyst works to oxidize the soil.
  • The rough porous surface of oven takes out a greasy soil, it increases the contact of surface with the hot air. Oils and fatty acids are easy oxidizing, milk and cheese take nearly 475 F temperature, the spills of sugar are sticky, so inner surroundings of oven should be protected from the boiling of item like fruit pie.
  • After the occurrence of large spills, quickly remove the glazing effect to prevent the walls from food seals that blocks the oxidation of soil. Adopt following procedures of cleansing:
  • Clean the food spill with sponge or paper towel, when you find soil soft few minutes after usage. Be gentle don’t rub while cleaning the clogged particles.
  • Spray the cleansing solution or wipe-off cleaner on the soil area after complete cooling of oven. Scrub the porous surface with the brush with nylon net padding or bristle nylon brush, let the cleansing solution stay for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • After squeezing wet sponge, rinse the surface with cold water, then blot the moisture with paper towel so it wouldn’t seep into in the burner of gas oven. Repeat the whole cleansing process until you satisfactorily clean the residues by softening the soil.
  • If surface of oven has remaining of some soil, then turning on oven at 475 F for two hours, the continuous cleaning coating could oxidize the surface.

Note: Don’t spray cleaners on the surface of oven while it is heated, since it dries the solution leaving stains of chalk whose cleaning is also a tough job, so it should be ensured that oven has cool temperature and all residues are properly rinsed.

For gas and electric ovens, the cleansing precautions for each type are different. Be sure about the way of cleaning and rinsing. If not so, don’t restrain yourself for contacting appliance repair service, before making an expensive loss.

Functional Overview of Electric Dryer

Are you curious to know how your electric dryer works?
If it is so, then it is your chance to grab it. Electric dryer is one of the most common household appliances. Previously, there was no trend of washing clothes at home. People used to send clothes in laundry houses, but now by the addition of dryer machines, trend has been changed.

Parts & Working of Dryer
Dryer works by whirling of clothes, when air blows blowing air in the drum. While performing cleaning action, drum restrains the clothes from bunching as well as bounds of dryer. A dryer runs over various dry cycles, which individually comprise of two major components i.e. air temperature and time consumed.

An electric motor spins the drum clothes and turns on a fan called as blower. In an electric dryer, airflows from blower and then passes over a heating element, in this way it dries the wet clothes. Later, this air then passes through the drum and comes out through the ducts to the vent located outdoors. In gas dryers, the airflow from blower and passes over through a gas jet.

Before starting a dryer ensure that its door is closed, otherwise your dryer may not operate. After that, you press start button to enable the timer control. A timer control regulates the length of time for which dryer runs. For measurement of water vapors in the drum, time control & moisture sensor works together. Moisture sensor also measures water vapors in the drum to determine when clothes have dried.

In electric dryer, temperature selector is used to control the maximum temperature inside the drum with the help of thermostat. Thermostat regulates high and low level of temperature; moreover, a user can also control the level of heat inside the drum. When time cycle ends, a buzzer sounds to signal that cycle has ended and clothes are dried.

If you have any problem about your appliance, then Appliance Guru provides quality repair services for any brand such as Samsung, LG etc.

Get optimal performance from Freezer

By the advancement of technology, a man of modern age can access all those facilities, which could be basic for his/her life. Among abundance of technologies, freezer is a most useful household appliance that can be found in every house. Technically, it is not difficult to repair freezer, but it is better to have know how to fix small faults of your appliance at your own to avoid expenditure of repair work.

How freezer works

The main purpose of freezer isn’t to cool food items, it removes heat from them. To understand about working of freezer, at least you should have idea about the laws of physics that governs it’s working. According to these laws, when gas enters from high-pressure area to a low-pressure area, its temperature drops. This process takes place in the form of continuous cycle.

Freezer is the combination of compressor and tubing system, and within these tube network refrigerant flows to perform cooling action. A Compressor has capability to pump the refrigerant, it compresses the refrigerant into gas, then this Gas flows through tubing system and then it passes through an expansion valve situated inside of freezer. When refrigerant or gas passes through the expansion valve, it drops both pressure and temperature. There is a fan installed inside the freezer that circulates air over chilled tubing system. The refrigerant absorbs heat from freezer, due to technical behavior heat sinks out rather than sinking in cold air in. Many People would have a lot of questions about this technical phenomenon, so it would be an interesting information, that if outside temperature of their freezer is too low, then their appliance will not perform cooling operation efficiently.

Appliance relies on outside warm temperature as difference in temperature makes appliance work. To make cooling work, appliance needs a warmer temperature outside as compared to inner temperature. For example, if your freezer is placed in garage during winter season, then it would be having very poor cooling.

When air in the freezer gets cool, then humidity that condenses the freeze into frost. No-frost Freezers installed with automatic defroster melts the frost build up. A defroster comprise of a heating element, controlled by defrost timer and thermostat. Later, melted frost drains out the water from freezer, and then accumulates into pan under freezer, afterwards it evaporates from pan in the form of vapors there. When temperature rises to a certain level then thermostat senses the rise in temperature and activates compressor. The temperature-controlling unit controls the temperature level. The door switch circuit of freezer remains close until door remains open it turns on the inner light. As door remains open, during this period freezer disables some of its components such as defroster heater, fan, and water dispenser.
