Key Takeaway: <\/strong>Ceramic hobs require regular cleaning and maintenance to keep them looking their best. Use a non-abrasive cloth or sponge with warm soapy water, as well as a glass cleaner specifically designed for ceramics. Wipe down surfaces after each use, check periodically for signs of wear or damage, and address any issues immediately.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nProtecting Your Ceramic Hob From Damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Ceramic hobs are a popular choice for many UK households due to their sleek design and easy-to-clean surface. However, they can be prone to damage if not properly cared for. Here are some tips on how to protect your ceramic hob from damage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Use a Hob Guard or Heat Diffuser Plate:<\/strong> A hob guard is an essential tool when it comes to protecting your ceramic hob from scratches and other types of damage. It\u2019s also important to use a heat diffuser plate when cooking at high temperatures as this will help prevent the glass top from cracking or shattering due to extreme heat exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Avoid Abrasive Cleaners:<\/strong> When cleaning your ceramic hob, avoid using abrasive cleaners such as steel wool pads or scouring powders which can scratch the surface of the glass top and cause permanent damage over time. Instead, opt for gentle non-abrasive cleaners like dish soap and warm water that won\u2019t harm the finish of your appliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n3. Don’t Use Sharp Objects on Surface:<\/strong> To ensure that you don\u2019t accidentally scratch up your ceramic hob while cooking, make sure not to use sharp objects such as knives or metal spatulas directly on its surface \u2013 instead, always use wooden utensils whenever possible. Additionally, try not to drag heavy pots across the glass top either; lift them carefully instead so that you don\u2019t risk scratching them up in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBy following these simple steps, you can keep your ceramic hob looking great for years without having any worries about accidental damages occurring along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some common issues you may encounter with your ceramic hob and how to troubleshoot them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uneven Heating:<\/strong> If your food is not cooking evenly on the hob, it could be an issue with the heating element or temperature settings. Check that all of the elements are working properly by turning each one on individually and checking if they heat up evenly. If this doesn\u2019t solve the problem, then check that all of the temperature settings are set correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nDiscolouration:<\/strong> Ceramic hobs can become discoloured over time due to high temperatures or spills left too long on its surface without being cleaned off immediately. To prevent discolouration, make sure you clean off any spills as soon as possible using a soft cloth dampened in warm soapy water and avoid leaving pans unattended at high temperatures for extended periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCracking:<\/strong> Cracks in your ceramic hob can occur if it has been subjected to sudden changes in temperature or pressure such as dropping something heavy onto it or putting hot pans directly onto its cold surface. To reduce risk of cracking, always use protective mats when placing hot items onto your hob’s surface and never move pots around while they’re still hot – wait until they’ve cooled down before doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf none of these tips helps resolve your issue then it might be best to call in a professional repairman who will be able to diagnose what is wrong with your ceramic hob more accurately than you can. It is better to be safe than sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
