Hard water spots

Condensation from cooking can cause minerals found in water and acids in food to

drip onto rangetop and cause gray deposits. Spots are often so thin they appear to be in or under rangetop.

Make sure bottom of cookware is dry before cooking. Daily use of smoothtop cleaner conditioner helps keep top free of hard water, mineral

deposits and food discoloration.

Mix smoothtop cleaner conditioner with water and

apply thick paste to stained area. Scrub vigorously. If stain is not removed, reapply cleaner and repeat process. Also try cleaning process for "Smearing and streaking".
