Spills
The stove is a magnet for spills because of the elements you are cooking with. Water is easily cleaned up but other more viscous substances can do permanent damage to your stove. When a spill happens, try and clean it up as soon as possible before it has time to dry and harden on the stove.
You can use a simple damp cloth, paper towels, or a sponge to clean away the spills on the surface of the stove but take extra care to clean the parts that are not immediately visible – such as the burner plates and knobs. These tend to soak in liquid and cause the parts inside to erode or rot, which will stop your stove from working.
If you are able, take off the knobs and wash them in warm soapy water so the spilled substances can’t damage it. If your cooktop opens up, check under the hood for any leaks from the spill and clean thoroughly.
Old Stains
If you haven’t cleaned your cooktop in a while, you may need to buy a scraper to clean the residue and debris that has built up over the months or years. The scraper is a good tool that removes the dirt without you having to put in too much effort, while avoiding any long-lasting damage to your appliance.
