Q1.      Will this work with all the kitchen stove models?

Answer:       Yes. Please read the second question (Q2.) for more crucial details about the product variation offered to match different models.

With Dirt Preventer, you can upgrade your simple stove, to enjoy the same cleanliness and hygienic protection as a high-end luxury stove. Dirt Preventer will come in handy for hard working busy you with family, your elderly parents and anybody who wants to save time and money. Our next product will reduce the power consumption of a simple Stove. If you love your love once you will buy this.

 

Q2.      What dimension differs from Model to Model?

Answer one:  Outer dimensions are standard for all models used within your country except the front width. The front width of the Kitchen Stove varies between twenty-eight inches to thirty inches, within the USA, unless it is a custom-designed Stove. The Dirt Preventer Bottom Plate front adjuster (Slot with Pin) is there to accommodate the width variation.

Note:   If you check kitchen cabinet dimensions online or in your hardware retailer or ask a contractor you will find the above said information.

Answer two:  The gap on top, between the stove and the cabinets will vary, depending on the installer. Dirt Preventer Top Seal Strip Vertical Trunk (bottom part) that sits between the said gaps, has a hollow inside to function as an air cushion. It will fit into any gap since air cushion can expand, and contract based on the width of the gap.

Note:    The said gap, on the top between Stove & Cabinets, is for hassle-free installation and removal of the stove. Further, during use of the oven, metals of the stove will expand due to high heat. The said gap will prevent the stove from pushing the cabinets due to said expansion. The above-mentioned cushion of the Top Seal Strip Bottom Vertical Trunk of the Dirt Preventer will absorb the said expansion.

Answer three: The depth of Toe Kick of the kitchen Cabinets is standard in all models. Hence the Side Strip of the Dirt Preventer Bottom Plate is compatible with all models.

Note:   The Toe Kick is the gap created by the cabinet designers, on the bottom front of the cabinet. It is there to accommodate the toe of the person standing close to the cabinet. You will find the Toe Kick in all Kitchen Cabinets. For further information please google “What is Toe Kick of a Kitchen Cabinets”

Answer four: The shape of the Stove Top Cover edgers differs by Stove type or by the model. Only the Top Seal Strip differs based on the shape of the Stove top edge curve. There are product variations offered on our webpage to select the product that matches your stove top cover. The Bottom Plate shown in the webpage will fit in with all models, because it is a one size fits all type design.

Q3.      Can I use Dirt Preventer for gas Buner stoves as well as electric burner stove?

Answer:     Yes, the Top Seal Strip differs between Gas Burner type and Electric Burner type. We have offered product variations on our web site for customers to select from. No product variation for Bottom Plate since it will fit all burner types of Stoves.

Note:   Only the material used for Top Seal Strip will differ between the electric burner stove and the gas burner stove kit. Since a gas burner generates higher deflection heat than an electric burner, we are using high heat resistance material for gas burner stoves Top Seal Strip kit. This is why the price of the dirt Preventer for gas burners are little higher than the electric burner models. The Bottom Plate will be the same for both types of burners.

 

Q4.      What will happen if I overtight the Bottom Plate screws?

Answer:      The Bottom plate or the Plate Hook may tend to bend or crack.

 

Note:   Please stop tightening sooner there is no slack on the Bottom Plate, area near the Stove leg (Post). Please watch the installation video.

 

Q5.      With Dirt Preventer, can I open the Stove top cover to access the area beneath the burner?

Answer:       Yes

 

Note:   You can remove and reinstall the Top Seal Strip any time you want. Just remove the Top Seal Strip, open the Stove top cover and once you close the top cover just place the Top Seal Strip back on the gap. You can remove and clean the Top Seal Strip (wash using the kitchen sink tap) and place it back in the gap too.

 

Q6.      Can this product help to keep pests away?

Answer:        Yes. There will be no food debris smell around the Stove to attract the pest. The Dirt Preventer will stop accumulation of food debris and liquid grim on the sides of the Stove as well Kitchen Cabinets sides facing stove and floor beneath the Stove. You can clean the kitchen floor daily, but you cannot clean the floor beneath the Stove daily. The Dirt preventer will keep things clean.

 

Note:   The food pieces and liquid falling through the gap between the Stove and the Cabinet is normal and frequent. If someone spills liquids / food on the cabinet countertop near the Stove or when cleaning a liquid / food spill on countertop the liquid /food would fall through the gap between the Stove and the Cabinet. Since you cannot clean that area frequently the debris and grim will dry up on the sides of the Stove as well as kitchen cabinets sides facing stove and the floor beneath Stove. The food / liquid falling on the kitchen floor also ends up under the stove while cleaning the floor or accidentally kicking it. Though humans will not get the smell of food waste, the pest can sense it and will get attracted. Even small objects like rings, pens, etc. can end up beneath the Stove and get lost. The Bottom Plate will prevent all that.

Q7.      How can Dirt-Preventer increase the life of the Stove and the Kitchen Cabinets?

Answer One:   Every time you pullout the Stove for cleaning, the power code gets starched, causing the power plug to slightly pull out from the socket. Often it goes unnoticed, and it is hard to plug it back since space restriction. This will cause an electrical unbalance inside the Stove circuitry, resulting Stove components to get overloaded.

 

Note:   When the stove electrical plug is not plugged in all the way (less than a certain limit) the voltage drop occurs. (the contact area of the plug pins with the wall socket is proportional to the resistance / impedance of the current flow). Then the system will draw more current to keep up with the energy demand of the burner. The said excessive current flow will electrically overload certain components. Maintaining the circuit impedance within the range defined by the designer is critical for the electrical circuits to operate properly and components to last longer. Unbalanced impedance may lead to an increase in power consumption too.

 

Answer Two:  When a Gas Stove is frequently pulled out for cleaning, the gas supply tube gets starched causing hairline cracks on the gas supply tube or on connections. It will leak gas even if all the knobs of the burners are in an off position. The leaked gas may create hazards conditions.

 

Note:  When off the burner by turning the knob to off position will only stop the gas flow from value at the knob to the burner. The gas will still flow from wall outlet through supply pipe up to the burner control knob. The said gas leaks on the supply pipe or in connections often go unnoticed or misidentified as thrash can smell or gas heating furnaces pilot lamp smell, until gas accumulates in the house over the hazardous levels. Such gas accumulation overnight or during absence of residents for long hours may cause hazardous conditions.

 

Answer Three:      Certain foods and liquids used in cooking have mild corrosive compositions. When these liquids stay in contact with the metal joints of the Stove or the wood surface of Cabinets for a long time it can start an effect called Pitting that can lead to corrosion or deterioration.

 

Note:   Certain ingredients have Acid and Alkaline (Backing power, vinegar etc., just to name a few) that can seep into metal joints and start pitting. Sametime the wood on the sides of the Kitchen Cabinets will absorb the said liquids causing wood to deteriorate.
