Range Cleaning Chrome Drip Pans and Trim Rings

To clean Chrome drip pans and trim rings:

 
  • Wash regularly in hot soapy water.
  • A plastic scouring ball or a stiff bristled brush may be used to remove burned on soil.
  • Rinse them in clean hot water and polish with a dry cloth before placing them back on the range.
  • Never use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, they will scratch the surfaces.
  • Can be cleaned in dishwasher.
 

For best results on heavy soil, follow the procedure below:

 
  1. Put the trim ring or drip pan and 1/4 cup of ammonia in a plastic bag or container. Use a separate bag for each pan or trim ring (the fumes will soften the soil).
  2. Allow to soak overnight.
  3. Remove from the bag and rinse thoroughly.
  4. Polish with a soft cloth.
 

Caution: Be aware of the strong fumes when opening the bag.

 

Do not attempt to clean chrome drip pans or trim rings in the self-cleaning oven. They will warp and discolor.
