Gas stoves (if you use Gas Stove Protector ) are easy to maintain. However, when the flow of gas gets blocked, the burner heads can't burn efficiently. Check the gas burners for irregular flame patterns and yellow flames. These are the best indicators that it’s time to grab your gas stove cleaner and get to work. Other than that, cleaning your gas stove monthly should keep it working at its best.
Fill a Sink with Hot Soapy Water
The best way to start this repair is to fill half your kitchen sink with hot, soapy water. There are several elements of your stove that you may want to soak, including the clogged burner. A warm sink ready to go will seriously speed up your progress. For even better scrubbing and debris-clearing action, add some white vinegar to the soapy water as well. It won’t smell great, but it cleans and resolves clogs like nothing else.
Remove the Burner Grate
Your gas burner is made of several layers. Most gas stoves have a grate on top because the gas burners aren’t fit to lay pans directly on top of the flame. This top grate is usually sturdy, heavy, and can come in multiple pieces. Remove all of the grate pieces between you and the burner you’re working on. Set the burner grate aside.
Because burner grates get spilled on and are often covered in cooked-on food, now is a great time to soak and scrub your burner grate. Take this repair opportunity to make your kitchen cleaner.
Lift Off the Burner Cap
The next step is to remove the burner cap. This is a small ceramic disk that sits directly on top of the flame-jetting part of the burner. If your gas stove has burner caps (and most do), the cap looks like a natural and finishing part of the design. The burner cap is not secured, so you can simply reach in and lift it right out. With the burner cap in hand, drop the cap into your sink of warm water. It’ll be easier to clean and shiny to return to place when your repair is complete.
Uninstall the Sealed Burner Base
Now turn your attention to the burner base. This is a metal disk that gas feeds into. It distributes the gas into a ring of channels that form the gas nozzles of the burner ring. In many models of gas cooktop stove, the burner base lifts out almost as easily as the burner cap. However, some models have one or two small mounting screws that will need to be carefully removed as you uninstall the burner base. Use a magnetic-tipped screwdriver, if possible, to help keep a hold of the small screws.
When the burner is loose, simply pull it out of the socket.
Soak and Scrub
Next, drop your burner base into the hot water and wait 10 to 20 minutes for all the cooked-on grime to soak and soften. Now is a good time to scrub the grate and the burner caps, or clean other parts of the kitchen. Heck, you can go put your feet up and watch some television while the burner soaks.
When you come back, grab a bristle-style brush. A nailbrush or an old toothbrush could both do the trick. Load the brush up with soapy water and carefully scrub the entire burner base. Pay close attention to scrubbing the holes around the outside ring. It clogs in these holes that are causing your uneven heating or non-lighting burner problems.
Apply Toothpick Treatment
When the burner is scrubbed completely clean, grab something small and pointy like a toothpick or the end of a paper clip. Use this small item to clear any final debris inside the little holes in your burner. The toothpick treatment ensures that if there are any really stubborn clogs of gelled, hardened, or charred material, you would be able to get it out in addition to soaking and scrubbing.
Reinstall the Burner Base
When your burner base is completely clean, dry it fully with a towel and set it back into place. Make sure the burner base is perfectly aligned with the tube of gas underneath and any alignment marketings. If your burner base lifted out easily, then set it back in the same way. If the burner base was secured with mounting screws, now is the time to return those screws.
Return the Cap and Grate
Finally, it’s time to rebuild your stove. With the burner base set into place, return the ceramic burner cap and make sure it settles completely. Then set the stove grate on top of everything else and settle it into the grooves that have always held the grate in place.
Your gas range top is an investment. You will find that by following these simple steps, it will remain a shining addition to your kitchen.To learn more, you can visit the Toaster Bag and BBQ Grill Mesh Mat Supplier
