Your NEFF induction hob and ceramic hob are super easy to clean and maintain, so you can keep it looking brand new with minimal effort. Induction hobs are designed for hassle-free cleaning, and a quick wipe after each use helps prevent spills from turning into stubborn stains. This simple routine not only keeps your hob spotless but also makes your cooking experience smoother, so you can spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your meals.

Watch the video to see how to clean your induction or ceramic hob. Alternatively, follow our step-by-step guide below to find out how to do this.

1. Ensure the hob is turned off and completely cool before cleaning.
2. Wipe away any loose food particles with a damp cloth.
3. Use a small amount of induction hob cleaner, spreading it evenly across the surface or use soapy water. We recommend using our hob cleaner specially designed for NEFF hobs.
4. Gently rub the cleaner in circular motions using a soft cloth.
5. For burnt-on residue, use a hob scraper at a 30 to 45-degree angle. Our NEFF scraper is ideal for this.
6. Wipe off the cleaner with a damp cloth, then polish with a dry microfiber cloth.

Regular Maintenance: To prevent future stains, wipe the hob down after each use with a soft, damp cloth. Regular cleaning helps maintain the hob’s appearance and prevents the buildup of stubborn stains. Our NEFF Hob Maintenance Pack is perfect for keeping your hob like brand new.

Tips to prevent damage to your hob:

1. Avoid abrasive materials to prevent scratches.
2. Clean spills promptly once the hob is cool.
3. Ensure cookware is in good condition and suitable for your hob. Avoid using cookware with melted enamel, copper, or aluminum bases. If you unsure if your cookware is suitable for your induction hob, you can do an easy cookware test. Find out more on how to do it here.
4. Lift cookware when moving it to avoid scratches and discoloration.
5. Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage area. Avoid contact with salt and sugar.
6. Ensure there is food or liquid in the cookware before heating to prevent damage.

By following these steps, your induction hob will remain like new and scratch-free.
