Yes. Thanks Chan. I'm on a cleaning kick but never have I faced such dirty burners. applegrove Sep 2013 #3

If there's soap residue on them, they may smoke for a minute or two.n/t Chan790 Sep 2013 #4

Why would you need to soak your coils? Callmecrazy Sep 2013 #5

I never cook at home. I don't think I've ever used more than one burner and I've been here 5 years. applegrove Sep 2013 #6

they have to be completely dry before you can reinstall them. Not just toweled off, left unconnected for several hours or overnight to dry.

I'm assuming you have electric coil burners.

Put them on high until they glow and anything on them is sure to be gone.

Just asking.

I have noticed that if I turn on the wrong one the smoke alarm goes off. So I scrubbed them tonight. It was very oily. No idea what caused it.
