What causes marks on my hob glass and how do I prevent them?

Marks can appear on hob glass over time, sometimes resembling small bubbles. These can be cleaned with the Smeg Ceramic and Induction Cleaning Kit, or alternatively with Hob Brite cream cleaner and a hob scraper. These marks are caused by water or other organic materials getting between the hob surface and the pan while cooking.

Do I need to rinse dishes before putting them in my Smeg dishwasher?

No, pre-rinsing is not necessary and actually wastes water. Modern Smeg dishwashers wash dirty dishes extremely well with programmes reaching up to 70°C. Simply scrape off large food leftovers such as bones and remove fatty residue from items like cheese before loading.

Why is my Smeg microwave not heating my food properly?

The issue may relate to water content in your food. The magnetron inside the microwave generates microwaves that cause water molecules in food to vibrate and produce heat through friction. If the food has low water content, you can place a glass of water inside the microwave to help increase moisture in the cavity.
