Kitchen Tips

This section is intended to provide you with helpful tips for maintaining your kitchen.

Kitchen Cabinets:
*Do not use water on wood cabinets.
*Use furniture polish to keep cabinets clean.
*Do not store excessive weight in the top cabinets.

Electrical:
*Change batteries on smoke detector every six months. General rule of thumb is to change the batteries when you change your clocks for Daylight Saving Time.
*Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI or GFI) outlets are installed around the wet areas of your home, including bathrooms, the kitchen, the garage, and all exterior outlets. GFCI outlets are mandated by national electric code and state building code. GFCI outlets are designed to trip easily when exposed to moisture or power surges.
When a GFCI outlet is not working, unplug appliance connected to the outlet and then hit the reset button on the outlet or the nearest outlet with the reset button.
GFCI outlets are not designed to handle the load of a refrigerator.
*Periodically clean the filter on the range hood.

Prevent Clogged Drains:
*Do not pour grease down the drain. Grease is a leading cause of drain clogs.

Garbage Disposals:
*If garbage disposal is not working, push the reset button on the unit.
*Use the garbage disposal key to clear blockages in the disposal.
