gas stove
A gas stove has a small, cylindrical looking burner that gives off a flame. An electric stove has a circular burner that turns red as it heats up. Both types can easily be removed from the stove with a gentle tug. It's important to properly clean both electric and gas burners to remove food, grease and stuck-on particles. Normally you can scrub a burner with soapy water and a sponge, but you can also clean burners without having to scrub them.
But be remember that the gas pipes and switches fitted in gas stove should not be disturbed. For this, you should consult your gas agency to get the service of the stove.
