Causes of stains on an induction hob

There are several reasons why stains can form on your induction hob. Here are the most common causes:

• Food boiling over: When liquids or food boil over and land on the hob, they can burn on and cause stains.
• Using unsuitable pans: Pans with a rough or damaged base can leave scratches and marks on the hob.
• No or insufficient cleaning: If you do not clean the hob regularly or leave stains untreated, they can build up and become harder to remove.
• Limescale deposits: In hard-water areas, limescale can build up on the hob, which can cause stains.

To prevent stains in future, it is important to clean the hob regularly with a suitable cleaning product. Remove spilled liquids or food debris promptly before they can burn on. Only use pans that are suitable for induction hobs and have a smooth, flat base. In hard-water areas, clean the hob regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions to prevent limescale buildup and maintain optimal performance.
