Burner discoloration on induction hobs is common issue and can be caused by burnt-on food, cookware residue, or heat marks. The good news is that they can be cleaned. If you want to keep your induction hob looking new, follow a few simple tips to prevent discoloration and maintain its sleek appearance.

  • Always use cookware with a clean, dry bottom: This helps prevent heat marks and discoloration from forming on the hob surface.
  • Wipe spills immediately: Sugary spills can burn onto the surface, causing permanent stains. Cleaning them swiftly with a soft, damp cloth helps maintain the hob’s appearance.
  • Use soapy water or a hob cleaner for regular cleaning: Regular maintenance with the right cleaner keeps your hob sparkling and residue-free.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners and pads: To keep the surface scratch-free, use non-abrasive cleaning tools.
  • Lift, don’t slide pans: To avoid scratches or marks from pan abrasion, always lift your cookware when moving it on the hob.

By following these maintenance tips, your NEFF induction hob will stay in top condition, providing you with outstanding performance and a sparkling appearance. Regular cleaning not only enhances the look of your kitchen but also ensures the longevity of your appliance.
