It's important to know when to call a professional, as certain situations may indicate more serious problems requiring the expertise of a qualified technician to repair your gas stove.

Different Levels of Buildup

Stove burners can present various degrees of buildup:

• Slightly dirty: Daily accumulation of food residues.

• Moderately clogged: Presence of grease and cooked-on residues.

• Heavily clogged: Significant accumulation of carbonized grease and obstruction of orifices.

Basic Cleaning (for Slightly Dirty Burners)

For regular maintenance, you can clean your burners yourself:

1. Turn off the stove and allow it to cool completely.

2. Remove the grates and burner caps.

3. Clean them with hot, soapy water.

4. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

5. Clean the surface around the burners.

6. Replace the parts.

Deep Cleaning (for Moderately Clogged Burners)

For a more thorough cleaning:

1. Soak the parts in a solution of hot water and baking soda.

2. Use a soft brush to get rid of stubborn residues.

3. Ensure all orifices are clear.

4. Dry completely before reinstalling.
