How does the Stove work?
Knowing the main parts of your stove makes it easier to spot a fault early and describe it to a technician:
- Cooktop — the glass, ceramic or stainless surface your pans sit on.
- Burners — gas burners fed from a gas supply, or electric coils and induction elements.
- Control knobs — regulate heat output for each burner.
- Oven — on range models, with its own elements or gas burners for baking and roasting.
Types of Stoves
Gas stoves run on natural gas or propane, giving instant heat, precise flame control and even results — a favourite with keen cooks.
Electric stoves use coils or induction elements, with smooth cooktops that are easy to clean and accurate temperature control.
Dual-fuel stoves combine gas burners with an electric oven, offering the best of both for flexible cooking.
Significance of Regular Stove Maintenance
- Safety: gas leaks and faulty electrical connections are found before they become dangerous.
- Better performance: removing grease and food residue prevents uneven heating and burner faults.
- Longer life: minor issues fixed early stop major breakdowns and premature replacement.
- Energy efficiency: a clean, correctly adjusted stove uses less gas or electricity.
