The gas stove is the most common and cheapest to run in Egyptian homes. Its maintenance needs a gas-specialist technician for safety — any leak or poor installation is very dangerous. We have technicians certified by the gas companies.
Gas stoves work with burners that burn natural gas or cylinder gas to produce the flame. Their main components: burner heads, spark plugs (auto-ignition), magnetic gas valves, thermocouples, and the oven thermostat. The most common brands in Egypt: Fresh, Universal, White Whale, Kiriazi, Beko, Indesit and Premium.
