When it comes to the life cycle of our kitchen ranges, they tend to last a bit longer than some of their kitchen counterparts, averaging between thirteen and fifteen years. And to make sure you get the best bang for your buck, there are a few things you can do to keep them running in tip-top order:

• If possible, try to clean your oven and stove after every use to prevent build-up of grime and grease
• If your appliance has a self-clean’ feature, use it sparingly. While they are great on paper, they do come with some potential problems so always follow your user manual should you opt to use this feature
• Make a regular habit of checking any electrical cords running to your range for wear and tear
• Regularly check gas burners and if possible, unclog them of grease and grime
• Regularly check the electrical cords running to your cooking appliances to make sure they aren’t damaged.

Regular cleaning is by far the best thing you can do to extend the life of your product. But even then, it’s highly likely you’ll experience some sort of malfunction over the years, especially during the summer and winter months when your cooking equipment has to work harder against the more extreme seasonal temperatures.

Common problems our customers report:

• Gas burners won’t ignite
• Glass cooktops are damaged/smashed
