Cool<topsurface
There are a number of precautions you can take to avoic!marring the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull. Don>tslide heavy pans across it. If you spill foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruitjuices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content, clean them Llpas soon as possible. If allowed to set, these foods could cause a dull spot. Also, no matter how stubborn the food stain, never use harsh abrasive cleansers. They could permanently damage the enamel surface. We recommend
a cleanser such as Soft Scrub@ brand cleanser* or a similar cleaning product.
Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Drip PaRls
