■Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.
■Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.
■Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.

NOTE: On some models with a white glass cooktop, it is normal for the surface to appear discolored when it is hot. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools.
