Thermador is a well-known brand when it comes down to ovens, but they also have an exceptional variety of cooking ranges available. The cooking ranges are integrated with an oven on the bottom side and stovetop burners on the top. The burners have grates, which can get dirty with regular use. So, to help you keep the grates clean, we have an in-depth guide for you!
How To Clean Thermador Range Grates?
Cleaning The Thermador Range Grates
Keeping the range grates clean is an essential part of kitchen maintenance. This is because if the spills are burnt into the grates, they will become challenging to remove. For this reason, it’s better that you wipe the grates as soon as something is spilled on them (let the grates cool down, though) – you can use the soapy sponge to wipe clean the grates. On the other hand, if the grates have food spills stuck on them, you can try out the following instructions;
- First of all, you must check all the knobs on your Thermador range and make sure they are in the “off” position. In addition, the burners must be cooled down.
- Once the burners are cooled down, you can lift off the grates from the range and put them in the kitchen sink.
- Use a kitchen cleaning spray to spray the grates (it’s a suitable choice for mild spills), or you can opt for an abrasive cleaner to clean the hardened spills.
- Once the grates are coated with the cleaning solution, let it sit for five minutes to ensure it’s properly penetrated, and use a damp sponge to wipe clean the grate.
- In case there are tough spots on the grates, you can use the sponge’s abrasive side, or you can use the steel wool (don’t forget to add some soap to the steel wool).
- Once the hardened spills are off, you need to rinse the grates with clean water and dry them up properly before you turn on the burner.
Tips To Keep Your Thermador Range Clean
The Thermador ranges are designed with high-quality grates, which are available in different shapes, designs, and shapes. However, if you cook regularly, the spilled food and liquids will get stuck to the grates, which looks extremely bad. Now that we have already added how to clean the grates, let’s see how you can keep them clean;
- Whenever you cook food on the Thermador range, it’s recommended to use the soapy or damp sponge to clean the grease or spills to make sure it doesn’t get too hard.
- Use splatter shields as well as grease screens to catch the food spills and prevent them from making the stovetop dirty.
- You must clean the grease and oil stains as quickly as possible as wet stains are easier to clean. In case of oil or grease stains, it’s recommended that you dust some baking soda, flour, or cornstarch (it will make the greasy stains easier to wipe).
- You must use special stovetop cleaners or kitchen cleaning sprays to clean the Thermador range because detergent or soap don’t work.
