What causes the glass in my stove to break ?
Surprisingly, the primary reason for glass failure isn't due to physical impact but rather poor fitting. Stove glass lacks toughening, making it prone to cracking or breaking even with moderate impact. Despite being heat-resistant, it still expands and contracts during heating and cooling cycles. Rapid heating can lead to cracking, as can over-tightened clips or the presence of debris. Cracks often stem from fixing points or clips, indicating the source of the issue.
What causes the scratched or cloudy appearance of the glass in my stove ?
When the glass displays a scratched effect, sometimes referred to as "spider's web," it's known as crazing. This phenomenon is often linked to low-quality fuel, especially coal with high sulfur content. While it may detract from the aesthetic, it doesn't always demand immediate glass replacement. Nowadays, improvements in fuel quality have made crazing less common. However, if you notice crazing or cloudiness on the glass, it's advisable to inspect your fuel source
