Recommended cleaning supplies for different cooktop types

Each Beko cooktop type needs a specific cleaning approach. Glass and ceramic cooktops work best with specialized cleaners like affresh® Cooktop Cleaner that leaves a streak-free, polished shine.

• Safe options:
  • Non-abrasive cleaning creams

  • Specialized glass cooktop cleaners
  • Mild dish soap with warm water

Must-have cleaning tools and accessories

2. Soft microfiber cloths or non-abrasive sponges
3. Lint-free drying cloths
4. Non-abrasive cleaning pads

Daily Cleaning Routine

Your Beko cooktop maintenance doesn't need to feel overwhelming. A simple yet practical cleaning routine will help you keep the cooktop spotless and working at its best.

Quick clean after each use

The best way to prevent stubborn stains is to clean your Beko cooktop right after you use it. Here's a quick cleaning routine that works:

• Clean the surface with warm, soapy water once it cools down
• Choose a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge
• Focus on areas with spills and splatters
• Use a clean microfiber cloth to dry the surface

Weekly deep cleaning steps

A deep clean once a week will give you the best results:

1. Take off all removable Beko cooktop parts (pan supports, burner caps)
2. Use the right cleaning solution based on your cooktop's type
3. Give the cleaner 10-15 minutes to work
4. Use a damp cloth to remove any loose debris
5. Clean the removable parts in warm, soapy water
6. Make sure all components are dry before putting them back

Proper cleaning techniques by cooktop type

Glass cleaner works best for induction and ceramic cooktops, and you should avoid metal tools that might scratch the surface. Your gas cooktop's burner heads and slots need to stay clear of debris to maintain proper gas flow.

Electric coil cooktops need special care. Wait until the burners cool down before unplugging them for cleaning. The electrical connections must stay dry at the time of cleaning. Regular care and maintenance will extend your Beko cooktop accessories and spare parts' life.

Pro tip: A mixture of vinegar and water works great on tough glass surface stains. Let it sit briefly before wiping it clean.

Tackling Tough Stains and Buildup

Every careful cook has faced those stubborn stains on their cooktop that just won't budge. These frustrating cleaning situations need a practical solution.

Removing burnt-on food and grease

Your Beko cooktop needs this proven three-step approach to tackle burnt-on food residue:

1. Create a cleaning paste by mixing baking soda with warm water
2. Apply the paste to affected areas and let it sit for 15-20 minutes
3. Gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge and wipe clean

Stubborn spots need a ceramic hob cleaner designed specifically for Beko cooktop parts. The best results come from using a specialized scraper at a 45-degree angle.

Dealing with water spots and mineral deposits

Dull and aged cooktops often result from water spots and calcium buildup. This trusted solution works well:

• Apply white vinegar directly to the spots
• Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to dissolve mineral deposits
• Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth
• Buff dry with a microfiber cloth

Pro tip: Calcium stains respond well to a small amount of limescale remover suitable for your cooktop type.

Solutions for stubborn stains

Tough stains need proper timing and technique rather than force. The toughest spots will yield to this method:

Mix equal parts vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle. The mixture should be sprayed over the stained area with baking soda sprinkled on top immediately. A hot, damp towel placed over this setup for 15 minutes will break down stubborn residue without damaging your Beko cooktop accessories.

Charred stains around gas burners require removing the Beko cooktop spare parts like grates. These parts should soak in warm, soapy water while you treat surface stains. This complete approach gives proper attention to each cooktop component.

Important: Metal scrapers or abrasive materials will cause permanent damage to your Beko cooktop's surface.

Preventive Care and Maintenance

Your Beko cooktop will last longer with proper maintenance. Taking care of it early will keep it running great for years.

Protecting your cooktop surface

The right cookware helps protect your cooktop's surface. Pick flat-bottomed pans that match your burner size. Beko cooktop accessories like protective mats add safety when you're not using the surface.

Lift your cookware instead of sliding it to avoid scratches. Gas cooktop owners should check their Beko cooktop parts - burner caps and grates need to sit properly.

Avoiding common mistakes

We've seen these common practices damage cooktops:

• Cookware that's too big for the cooking zone
• Hot pan lids placed on cool glass surfaces
• Cleaning products used on hot surfaces
• Weight over 50 pounds on glass surfaces
• Abrasive cleaners or ammonia-based glass products

Regular maintenance schedule

Here's a simple timeline to protect your investment:

Daily Care:

• Clean the surface after cooking
• Make sure burner caps and grates line up
• Clean spills right away

Weekly Tasks:

• Look for damaged door seals
• Give burner caps and grates a good clean
• Test all Beko cooktop spare parts

Monthly Maintenance:

• Clean everything deeply
• Check gas connections (gas cooktops)
• Look for loose or damaged Beko cooktop replacement parts

A yearly professional inspection makes sense. It catches problems early and keeps everything running safely.

Pro tip: Your Beko manual has specific instructions for your cooktop model. It's worth checking since each type needs different care.
