How and how to quickly clean the gas stove burners?

If cooking is done using a gas stove, you will have to learn a few rules for caring for the device. First of all, the hostess should know how and how to clean the gas burner, so that its further use improves the quality of work and does not lead to an accident.

Perform this manipulation regularly. It is better not to bring to situations when the pressure, color and intensity of the flame change. The cleaning process itself is not difficult, but it has certain specifics. First you need to study the structure of the burners and prepare everything you need, depending on the planned work.

Gas burner cleaning methods

The burner itself consists of several parts: the base, the flame divider and the burner cover. All items listed are subject to thorough processing. There are several options for effectively solving the problem:

We remove the burners and separate the dividers. In a basin, we dilute a washing solution consisting of 10 parts of hot water and one part of any dishwashing detergent. We lower all the elements of the plate into it and leave it to soak for 20 minutes, if necessary, increase the exposure time to 2 hours. After that, take a soft sponge and begin to rinse all the details. The divider must be additionally cleaned with a thin needle or needle. If the dirt is severe, it is recommended to use a toothbrush. Then we wash all the parts in cool water, dry, collect and arrange in places.

Tip: If during cooking the surface of the stove was soiled, you do not need to clean it traditionally, trying to sweep away the dirt or collect it with a rag. Be sure to remove all burners that fall into the problem zone and make sure that the dirt does not fall into the gaps. Otherwise, the device will quickly show signs of serious internal contamination.

With severe contaminants that accumulated over several months of intensive use of the stove, it is better to use a more aggressive option. We disassemble the burner and dip all the parts into a solution prepared from 9% vinegar and water (2 tablespoons of solution per glass of water). We put the capacity on the stove, bring the liquid to a boil, remove and hold for 30 minutes. Then we take out the elements and clean them with a soft sponge, rinse under clean water, dry and collect.

If the smell of vinegar is very annoying or there is no way to open the windows to ventilate the room at the time of the manipulation, then the main ingredient can be replaced with baking soda. Components are taken in the same proportions.

When and how should nozzles be cleaned?

The nozzle of the gas stove is a nozzle responsible for supplying gas. It should be cleaned only if there are problems with the gas supply, the flame intensity has decreased. But before that, we definitely turn to the profile wizard, who will evaluate the quality of the device and confirm that the pressure problem arises precisely because the nozzle is clogged.

In this case, proceed as follows:

We remove the burner from the stove, if necessary, clean it and remove it to the side.
We find a small hole - this is the nozzle through which gas is supplied.
We take a straightened paper clip or a piece of dense wire, insert it into the hole and turn it several times. So we repeat twice more, making sure that the instrument passes through the channel without any problems.
We collect the burner and check the quality of the gas supply. It is strictly forbidden to try to start the gas directly through the nozzle!

If for some reason the used thin tool does not pass through the channel, but encounters some kind of obstacle, you must contact the appropriate service, which will replace the part. Do not try to do it yourself or pour vinegar (and other reagents) into the hole in the hope that everything will be cleaned. Also, you can’t try to “break through” the pollution with the help of water drawn into a syringe with a needle. No liquid should enter the nozzle at all.

It happens that the ongoing manipulations do not give the desired effect and the plate no longer functions as before. In this case, you should think about her professional diagnostics and scheduled repairs.
