What You'll Need:
- Dish soap
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Warm water
- Soft cloths or sponges
Step-by-Step Guide:
Step 1: Safety First!
Ensure that all the knobs are turned off.
Step 2: Remove Pan Supports and Burner Caps
Remove all pan supports and burner caps. Place them in a sink filled with warm, soapy water to soak while you clean the rest of the hob.
Step 3: Clean the Hob Surface
Wipe the hob’s surface with a soft cloth dipped in warm, soapy water. For tougher stains, sprinkle baking soda directly onto the stains, then spray white vinegar over it. Let it fizz and sit for a few minutes before scrubbing and wiping clean. Avoid using abrasive sponges or cleaners that can scratch the surface.
Step 4: Scrub Pan Supports and Burner Caps
Use a soft sponge or brush to scrub away any residue or grease on your pan supports and burner caps. For stubborn stains, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the pan supports and caps, and let it sit for 20 minutes before scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly and let them air dry.
Step 5: Reassemble and Check
After cleaning, check that all parts are securely in place. Ensure that the burners are correctly aligned.
