Proper care and cleaning are important so your radiant cooktop will give you efficient and satisfactory service. If soil, mineral deposits from evaporated water spills or metal rub-off from aluminum cookware are not removed, they will burn on the glass cooktop surface and cause permanent discoloration.

Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health and can chemically attack the glass surface.

Follow these directions carefully in caring for your cooktop to assure safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE THAT SURFACE UNIT CONTROL KNOBS ARE TURNED OFF AND ENTIRE COOKTOP IS COOL BEFORE CLEANING.
