Take care of your hob
Five minutes here and there, and it will pay you back. Here are the habits that really matter.
- 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.

Everything about hob manuals and repair
Most of the faults that take a hob out of service early can be fixed. You just need the right manual, the ability to read the symptom, and the compatible part: that is all here, for every listed model.
When something breaks, we point you to the most likely cause and the video that explains it, without ever diagnosing for you. And since prevention is better, a few regular maintenance habits are enough to space out the faults.
Where our data comes from: parts and repairability indices from the open data.gouv.fr dataset declared by manufacturers; product sheets from the European EPREL database; safety recalls from RappelConso. Tutorials from a closed list of vetted specialist channels.
