Before and After: Electric Stove

Tuesday, August 12, 2008

I kept on reminding myself to buy a single-burner electric stove but I never got around it. (We need it as an emergency stove in case we run out of LPG.)

One day, my friend "MM" gave me this green National electric stove. Perfect! I instantly saw its potential. It's a well-built stove, better than what's available in the market nowadays.





Before...


















After... The stove looks like this now. Tada!

Here is how I did it:

1.
I had the cord changed. See the chewed up cord in the before picture? I brought the stove to our neighborhood repair shop and they replaced the cords for P220 ($5).

2.
I cleaned the pan and the center of the coils. It only took 10 minutes to turn the pan from grimy to shiny. I will post the secret formula tomorrow.









3. I polished the body with MC All-Purpose Cleaner. MC can clean almost anything.

Bow...

Note: SAVE THE EARTH! Recycle. Try to save appliances by having them repaired. Don't just throw them away.
