The source recommends using distilled white vinegar rather than cooking vinegar and emphasizes drying the components thoroughly after cleaning.
Step 1: Turn Everything Off
Safety should come first.
Make sure the burners are completely cool before cleaning. If you’re working with a gas stove, consider turning off the gas supply before starting.
Never attempt to clean hot burner components.
Step 2: Remove the Burner Parts
Carefully remove the grates and removable burner components.
Place them somewhere convenient for cleaning and make sure you remember where each piece belongs.
Different stove models have different burner designs, so avoid forcing anything that doesn’t easily come apart.
Step 3: Start With the Vinegar
Pour approximately 50 ml of white distilled vinegar into your cleaning setup.
Vinegar can help loosen greasy residue and make stubborn deposits easier to remove.
