Cleaning Cooker Hobs | Extends Service Life
Contents
Cookers such as gas stoves and induction cookers are among the most frequently used appliances in the kitchen. Regular cleaning can improve performance, extend service life and help maintain a clean kitchen environment.
Cleaning Cooker Hobs | Cleaning Procedure:
Switch off the power or gas: Before cleaning any electrical or gas equipment, make sure it has been switched off and unplugged, or that the gas valve has been closed.
Remove detachable parts: For a gas stove, the burner cap and burner base (if removable) can be taken off. For an induction cooker, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Gentle cleaning: Use a mild cleaning agent and warm water to clean these parts. Avoid corrosive cleaners, as they may damage the surface. For stubborn stains, you may use a dedicated kitchen cleaner.
Clean the Hob: Use a damp cloth or sponge to clean the hob, and avoid letting water enter the gas pipe or power socket.
Clean the Inside of the Oven: If your stove has an oven function, clean it with a mild cleaning agent and warm water. For stubborn grease, a dedicated oven cleaner may be needed.
Air-dry: let all parts air-dry naturally, or wipe them dry with a dry cloth.
Reassemble the cooker: make sure all parts are dry, then reinstall it.
