The holidays are supposed to be a time when you
enjoy laughter and stories with your favorite people, many of whom you only get
to see during the holiday seasons. They’re not supposed to be a time that’s filled
with stress and unprepared food, yet every single year we hear a handful of
stories about people who had their entire holiday ruined because their usually
reliable American Range suddenly stops working properly and they had no way of
preparing their holiday feast.
We find these stories sad, partly because no one
should be stressed about appliances during the holidays, and partly because
most likely the problem could have been prevented with the proper holiday
preparation.
Most Los Angeles residents don’t use their American Range as frequently as they
think they do. If you stop and think about it, it’s likely you only used the
oven portion a handful of times since the last holiday season. When appliances
don’t get used, it’s easy to be caught unaware by problems. The first thing you
need to do is make sure the American Range still works the way it did the last
time you used it. Baking a plate of brownies or a small roast will help you
determine how well your oven works.
Even if your American
Range oven seems to be working properly, if it’s been awhile since the last
time you had it checked out by a professional, there’s no time like the
present. Oven generally don’t breakdown without any warning, but sometimes the
indicators of problems can be so minimal they’re easy to overlook, especially
if the problem has been going on for some time. The oven might be fine for
cooking little things, but when you really put it to work baking dozens of pies
and roasting an enormous turkey, the strain can be too much on the oven and it
finally gives up the ghost. A professional will be able to quickly identify the
problem and make the necessary improvements. Not only will the service call
prevent a holiday cooking disaster, you will also notice it uses less energy.
The reduced energy will quickly make up for the cost of the service call.
While you have the service person there, you might
as well make arrangements for them to perform a service call on the rest of
your kitchen appliances as well.
The final thing you need to do to prepare you American Range oven for the upcoming
holiday feast will be to make sure it’s been thoroughly cleaned. It’s
impossible for the oven to bake evenly when the inside hasn’t been cleaned in a
long time. In addition to running the oven’s self-cleaning feature, you should
also remove and clean all of your burners, as well as the char-broiler.

holiday, you shouldn't try using cheese and crackers to feed your guests. You
should take advantage of our 24/7 emergency service. We’ll get your appliancesfixed so you can relax and enjoy your holiday. Call (800) 657-0765 to reach AmeriPro Appliance Repair today!
