How to Clean a GE Electric Stove

GE electric stoves are available with a glass ceramic or traditional coil range top. Both types of stoves can build up messes from everyday use. Glass ceramic stove tops provide hassle-free cleaning because of their smooth surface. Traditional coil stove tops have removable drip pans for quick cleanup of messes and spills. No matter which type of GE electric stove you have, clean it regularly or after every use to keep it looking and performing its best.

Things You'll Need

• Dish detergent
• Cloths
• Towel
• Sponge

Instructions

1. Turn off the electric stove and wait for it to cool before cleaning.

2. Remove the heating elements and drip pans from the stove. Place the drip pans into a sink filled with hot water and 1 tsp. of dish detergent to soak.

3. Dampen a cloth with soapy water from the sink, and wring it out. Wipe the coil or glass ceramic stove top with the cloth to remove any food spills or residue.

4. Dampen a clean cloth with warm water, and wring it out. Wipe the stove top with the cloth to remove soap residue.

5. Dry the stove top with a towel.

6. Wash the drip pans in the sink with a sponge. Rinse them thoroughly, and dry them with a towel.

7. Set the drip pans into place on the stove, and plug the heating elements in. Make sure they're positioned evenly.

Tips & Warnings

• Remove tough messes from a coil stove top with a non-abrasive scrubbing pad.

• For tough messes on a glass ceramic cook top, apply 3 drops of cook top cleaner to a cloth or sponge. Scrub the stove top with the sponge or cloth using small, circular motions. Wipe the stove top with paper towels to remove any residue. There's no need to rinse because the cleaner protects the surface.

• Don't use steel wool or harsh abrasives and cleaners on a GE electric stove top.
