Use Daily

Before Use Care

Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For
example, apply a small amount of Cooktop Cleaning
Creme® (packaged with cooktop) 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 counterlevel surface between uses.

CONTROL KNOBS

Pull up to remove. Slip a towel under the knob and
hold edge of towel together. Using the towel for
leverage, pull up. Wipe with hot, soapy cloth, rinse and
dry. Do not soak!
2. Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge
or paper towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if
smudge remains; rinse.

DAILY CLEANING TECHNIQUES
