How to clean an induction hob

Induction hobs are becoming increasingly popular in kitchens across the world, thanks to their ease of use and efficient heating. However, like all kitchen appliances, they require regular cleaning and maintenance to keep them in top condition. Here’s how to clean an induction hob properly and keep it looking and feeling like new.

1. Unplug the hob: Before you start cleaning, make sure that you unplug the hob from the power source. This is a crucial safety step that prevents electric shock.

2. Wipe off the surface: Use a damp cloth to wipe off any spills or splatters on the hob’s surface.

3. Use a glass cleaner: Spray glass cleaner on the hob’s surface and use a clean cloth to wipe it off. This will remove any grease and grime from the surface and make it look shiny and new.

4. Clean the burners: Use a damp cloth to clean the burners. Make sure to use gentle circular motions to remove any dirt or debris.

5. Clean the control panel: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the control panel. Make sure to clean all the buttons and knobs.

6. Clean the vents: Use a small brush to clean the vents. Make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies as dirt can accumulate in these areas.

7. Use a stainless steel cleaner: Spray stainless steel cleaner on the hob and use a clean cloth to wipe it off. This will remove any streaks or smudges that are on the surface.

8. Clean the surrounding area: Finally, use a damp cloth to clean the surrounding area. Make sure to get rid of any crumbs or debris that may have accumulated around the hob.

By following these steps, your induction hob should be clean and ready to use. Remember to use gentle cleaning products and cloths to ensure that you don’t damage the surface of the hob. Regular cleaning will help extend the life of your induction hob and keep it looking like new.
