Cleaning your Gas Hob
Sometimes when a hob is not working well, it is because
it needs cleaning.
Enamel parts
● Use a mild cream cleaner for example ‘Cif’. Stubborn
marks can be removed with a soap filled pad.
Stainless steel surfaces
● Only use a clean cloth wrung out with warm, soapy
water and dried off with a soft cloth. For stubborn
marks use a specialist stainless steel cleaner.
● Do not use steam cleaners.
● Sharp implements and objects can mark the surface of
stainless steel, however they do become less noticeable
in time.
Cast iron parts
● Ensure the parts have fully cooled and scrape off any
stubborn marks, and bits of food with a plastic, or
wooden cooking implement. Rinse in warm soapy
water and dry with a tea towel.
● Do not clean in a dishwasher.
● If you notice any rusting on your griddle, or
pansupports, simply clean in warm soapy water, then
re-season.
Burner caps and heads
The slots in the burner head where the flames burn
should be cleared of deposits.
● Clean with a nylon brush, rinse and then dry
thoroughly. There may be brownish coloured markings
on your burners, these are carbon deposits or fat stains
and can be removed using a soap filled pad.
● Do not put burners in the dishwasher or soak them.
Using dishwasher powders, washing up liquids and
caustic pastes can damage the burners.
● Burner caps and heads must be repositioned correctly
so that they sit squarely on to the hob as shown on the
the left.
● This is particularly important with stainless steel models
as failure to reposition the caps correctly may result in
discolouration of the stainless steel around the burners.
Painted & Plastic parts
● Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water.
Baby oil can be used to
restore stainless steel
finishes - but only use a
few drops. Do not use
cooking oils as they can
contain salts which will
damage the metal.
Always allow your
appliance to cool
down, and switch off
the electricity before
you clean any part of
it.
