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.
