When cleaning is required first, you should turn off the power to your stove, either by disconnecting it or turning it off at the fuse box of your home. Let the stove cool completely before cleaning it. Once the appliance is fully cold, you can then start to remove dust and dirt from the grate and heat outlets, inlets, and glass. A dry, clean cloth will typically suffice. If you own a fan heater, you'll also have to clean the fan that can be done using dry cloths or a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle attachment (if you have one). Also, you'll need to clean the flame effect components that typically comprise an LED or halogen lamp strip, and mirrors attached to rods. Again, these can be cleaned using dry cloths or vacuum. Regarding the coils, it's important to note that you shouldn't get them wet. They plug into a specific type of socket and immersing them in water can damage the appliance. If they are dirty, use a mixture comprised of hot water, dish soap or, if needed, denatured alcohol. The coils should be cleaned and any drip pans removed should be put back in place.
