Precision flame control is the hallmark of luxury gas cooktops. But clogged ports, misaligned caps, and dirty igniters can turn silky-smooth simmer into sputter and soot. Signs of Trouble Orange tips or flickering flames (incomplete combustion) Clicking igniter that won’t light or keeps clicking after ignition Burners that heat unevenly or go out at low settings Deep-Clean Method (Safe for Most Premium Brands) 1. Shut off gas and power. Let components cool. 2. Remove grates and burner caps. Soak caps in warm, soapy water. 3. Use a soft brush or wooden toothpick to clear burner ports — never metal that can widen holes. 4. Wipe the igniter gently with alcohol on a cotton swab. 5. Reassemble, ensuring caps sit level and centered. Preventive Care Clean spills promptly; sugar and starchy sauces carbonize fast. Keep ventilation strong to reduce grease settling on components. Schedule professional service yearly to verify gas pressure and air-fuel mix. Safety Note If you smell gas or see soot buildup, stop and contact a professional. Misadjusted burners can damage cookware and release carbon monoxide.
