If cooking is done using a gas cooker, you will have to learn several rules of care for the device. First of all, the landlady should know what and how to clean the gas hob, so that its continued use increases the quality of work and does not lead to an accident.
Carry out this manipulation regularly. It is better not to bring to situations where the pressure, color and intensity of the flame changes. The process of cleaning itself is not difficult, but it has a certain specificity. First, you need to study the structure of the burners and prepare everything you need depending on the planned work.
Methods for cleaning gas burners
The burner itself consists of several parts: the base, the flame divider and the burner cover. All listed elements are subject to careful processing. There are several options for effectively solving the problem:
- Remove the burners and separate the dividers. In the basin, we dilute a washing solution consisting of 10 parts of hot water and one part from any dishwashing detergent. We lower all the elements of the plate into it and leave it for 20 minutes to soak, if necessary, the holding time is increased to 2 hours. After that, take a soft sponge and begin to wash all the parts. The scraper must be cleaned additionally with a thin needle or needle. If the dirt is strong, it is recommended to use a toothbrush. Then rinse all parts in cool water, dry, collect and place in places.
Tip: If the surface of the cooker is stained during cooking, you do not need to clean it traditionally, trying to sweep the dirt off or collect it with a rag. Be sure to remove all the burners that fall into the problem area and make sure that dirt does not get into the gaps. Otherwise, the device will quickly begin to show signs of serious internal pollution.
- With strong impurities that have accumulated over several months of intensive plate use, it is better to apply a more aggressive option. We disassemble the burner and lower all the parts into a solution, prepared from 9% of vinegar and water( 2 cups of water in a glass of water).We place the capacity on a plate, bring the liquid to a boil, remove and stand for 30 minutes. Then remove the elements and clean them with a soft sponge, rinse under clean water, dry and collect.
If the smell of vinegar is highly irritating or there is no possibility to open the windows so that during the time of manipulation to ventilate the room, the main ingredient can be replaced with baking soda. The components are taken in the same proportions.
When and how should I clean the injectors?
The nozzle of the gas cooker is a nozzle that is responsible for the supply of gas. It must be cleaned only in the event that there are problems with the gas supply, the intensity of the flame decreased. But before this, we are sure to address to the profile master, who will assess the quality of the device and confirm that the problem with pressure arises precisely because the nozzle is clogged.
In this case, proceed according to the following scheme:
- Remove the hotplate from the plate, if necessary, clean it and remove it to the side.
- We find a small hole - this is the nozzle through which gas is supplied.
- Take a bent paper clip or a piece of thick wire, insert it into the hole and rotate several times. So repeat again twice, making sure that the instrument passes through the channel without problems.
- We collect the burner and check the quality of the gas supply. It is strictly forbidden to try to put gas directly through the nozzle!
If, for some reason, the thin tool used does not pass through the channel, but encounters an obstacle, you must contact the appropriate service that will replace the part. Do not try to do it yourself or pour vinegar into the hole( and other reagents) in the hope that everything will be cleaned. You also can not try to "break through" the contamination with water, typed in a syringe with a needle. No liquid should enter the nozzle at all.
It happens that the manipulations do not give the desired effect and the plate no longer functions as before. In this case, you should think about its professional diagnosis and routine maintenance.
