Features of the stove for gas stove
The divider for the gas stove is used to improve the performance of the burners: it divides the gas flow into small areas-lights for quick and uniform heating of dishes. From above, this detail is covered with a metal lid in the form of a plate.
Purpose
His main task is protection of dishes from open fire. This not only prolongs the life of kitchen utensils, but also allows you to cook much faster. Externally, the flame breaker resembles a circle with many small holes.
When choosing a divider, it is better to use a stainless steel model. There are also metal options, but they quickly deteriorate and lose their working qualities.
This, at first glance, minor detail plays an important role:
- Kitchenware handles remain cold.
- Only due to the presence of the divider can glass or ceramic dishes be put on the stove.
- It is a kind of stand that does not allow the pot to tip over and pour gas.
- Meals are cooked quickly and evenly.
- Protects dishes from burning.
- Gives the chance to use a container with a small bottom.
- Since the design of the divider provides for the preservation of heat, cooked dishes can “reach” on the switched off plate.
- Allows you to adjust the burning modes.
What is a jet
This essential detail is a small bolt with hole. With it, the gas enters the burner and connects with the air, as a result of which a flame is formed. What else you need to know about the jet?
- Cylinder gas or a gas pipeline requires the installation of different jets. If you decide to switch from a cylinder to a stationary gas, then it is not necessary to change the plate. Simply replace this little detail.
- Improper installation of the nozzle is fraught with dangerous consequences. At the very least - this is a damaged technique, at the most - an explosion. Therefore, its installation and repair must be trusted only to professionals.
- If you change the main gas to balloon, you forget replace jet, the gas from it will go a large stream, which can also cause an explosion.
- If you want to make a replacement yourself, carefully read the instructions attached to the jet with a detailed description of the process.
The working power of the burner depends on the size of the orifice of the nozzle. Digital values are usually written at the end of the part.
Splitter Replacement
Without this detail, the stove will not be able to work correctly, although the consequences of a spoiled divider are not as terrible as those of a bad jet. To replace parts you need to know the following.
- Dividers come in different shapes, but most often there are round.
- For each model plate fits your divider. It is not recommended to use a detail from Indesit on the Bosch plate.
- To make it easier for customers to choose, manufacturers put special markings on the parts.
As a rule, non-native dividers may simply not fit in size or shape, but if you manage to stuff a part, for example, from Indesit to Bosch, this can lead to breakage of the whole plate, and then you will need her repair.
Divider cover
This is the final detail of the gas burner, which looks like a circle with lowered edges. It is used to distribute the gas flow to the side. It has a removable mechanism that facilitates cleaning the divider and burner.
When choosing a material it is better to stop on stainless steel. Despite the fact that ferrous metal is not inferior in durability, it quickly loses its appearance and easily gets dirty.
Device details
Factory parts are available. of two components: top and bottom plate. The top one is for adjustment, and the bottom one is for support. Each plate is equipped with holes through which the flame comes out. The work process looks like this:
- On the lower disk is installed adjustment.
- Both parts are placed on the grid plate.
- Next, turn on the gas to the minimum power.
- By turning the handle, the openings in the divider can open and close, thereby regulating the flow of the flame.
- A small air cushion helps protect utensils from the effects of gas.
The divider for the gas stove can be made by hand, cutting a sheet of 2 mm steel with small holes. However, how good it will be in operation is an open question.
Cleaning
If your lens is clogged, it must be cleaned. Blockages lead to poor work of the stove and the lack of products:
- Remove the hotplates.
- Disconnect all the elements.
- Take a thin metal rod and clean the holes from contamination.
- Make a solution of detergent and put the parts in it for about an hour.
- Use a sponge to clean the rest of the trash.
- Take a toothbrush and clean all the channels.
- Rinse the parts under warm water.
- Dry and collect in the reverse order.
To avoid damage to the parts, do not use metal sponges, brushes or scrapers.
More often than not, we do not notice the importance of such a detail as a splitter. Meanwhile, it performs many important functions - it regulates the flame from the hotplate of the stove, saves dishes, and makes it possible to cook dishes evenly.
