An electric hob is sleek, efficient and easy to care for — and a few simple habits keep it looking new and performing at its best for years. Here's how to clean and maintain yours the right way.
01Wipe It After Every Use
Once the surface has cooled, wipe away spills and splashes with a soft, damp cloth. Cleaning while marks are fresh stops them baking on and keeps the glass gleaming.
02Tackle Stubborn Marks Gently
For dried-on residue, use a dedicated glass-hob cleaner and a soft cloth or a proper hob scraper held at a low angle. Never use steel wool or harsh scourers, which scratch the surface.
03Clean Spills Quickly
Sugary spills in particular can pit the glass if left on the heat. Carefully remove them as soon as it's safe, then clean the area once cool.
04Keep Cookware Bases Clean
Dirty or rough pan bases can leave marks and reduce heat transfer. Use flat, clean, suitable cookware — especially on induction — for the best results.
05Care for the Controls
Wipe touch controls gently and keep them free of grease and moisture so they stay responsive. A soft cloth is all that's needed.
06Routine Checks
Occasionally check that the surface is free of cracks and the hob is heating evenly. Simple attention keeps your hob safe and performing at its peak.
