Gorenje IS730BSC 70 cm induction hob, 3 zones

The regular habits that prevent breakdowns and extend your appliance’s life. Each tip shows how often to do it; those marked “For this model” are specific to your appliance, the rest apply to the whole family.

• Wipe the glass and the pan basesAfter each use

  Before each use, clear dust and grit from the glass and from the bottom of your pans: that is what scratches the ceramic glass. For light soiling, a soft damp sponge then a dry cloth are enough, once the hob is off and cool.

• Remove spilled sugar straight away

  Sugar and sugary food must be removed at once with a scraper, even if the zone is still hot. Burnt-on stains come off with the scraper held at 45–60°, without pressing straight down on the glass.

• No abrasives, no descalers

  Avoid steel pads, abrasive sponges, harsh sprays and descalers. Water marks come off with a little diluted vinegar (not on a shiny frame), dried stains with a ceramic-hob cleaner.

• Protect the glass now and then

  A dedicated ceramic-hob care product leaves a thin protective film that makes the next clean easier. The manual recommends it as periodic care.
