⚙️ Why Electric Cooker Maintenance Matters
Neglecting your cooker can lead to:

- Shortened appliance lifespan
With just a few simple habits, you’ll save money, cook better, and stay safe.
🧼 Daily & Weekly Cleaning Tips for Electric Cooker Maintenance
- Wipe spills immediately – Use a damp cloth to clean food residue before it hardens.
- Clean hob surfaces weekly – Use non-abrasive cleaners to avoid scratching glass or ceramic tops.
- Remove and soak burner rings – For coil models, clean with warm soapy water.
