Every so often, do not hesitate to include your stove and oven in your regular cleaning regimen. Adding to the list:
- A rear sweep- taking a broom or long, narrow vacuum end to the back of your oven, remove dirt, dander, and dust to avoid buildup of debris in hard to reach places.
- Side and frontal dust removal- repeat the first step, only on the sides and in front of the appliance.
- Going under- depending on the height of your appliance, use a long cleaning device to swipe away debris from underneath it.
- From the inside- run a regular clean of your oven to remove any spills and hard, crusted on left overs. Use a damp cloth to clean the racks,bottom and sides of the inner oven. Just make sure you turn it off first.
- The tip-top- Your kitchenaid stove is easy to clean, but it does require a few steps.

If your stove has coils, simply remove the coils and soak in a hot, soapy bath and lightly scrub away any remnants.
