	Caution: no liquid should enter

	through the burner base.

To prevent marring the polished stainless steel base, always polish in the direction of the polish lines.

Light discolorations may form if the natural oxidation is removed together with the soiling. Put some commercially available stainless steel polish on a cloth and polish the whole cooktop after cleaning to get an even stainless steel surface. Never allow food stains or salt to remain on stainless steel for any length of time. Important: certain stainless steel cleaners will scratch the surface. Chlorine or chlorine compounds in some cleaners are corrosive to stainless steel. Check ingredients on label.
