Care and Cleaning - The Cooktop
Before Use Care
Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For example, apply a small amount of Cooktop Cleaning Creme (packaged with range) on a daily basis. This provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove water spots or food spatters. The temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective qualities of this cleaner. It must be reapplied before each use. Use a clean cloth and apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme before each use to remove dust or metal marks that can occur on the counter level surface between uses.
Daily Cleaning Techniques

Exception: Remove Dry Sugar, Sugar Syrup, Tomato Products and Milk immediately with the razor blade scraper (See Care and Cleaning Chart, next page).
2.Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or paper towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge remains; rinse.
