Cooktop Care and Maintenance

Cleaning Guide

BEFORE USE CARE

Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For example, apply a small amount of Cooktop Cleaning Creme® on a daily basis.

This provides a protective fi lm that makes it easy to remove water spots or food spatters

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

The temperature of the cooking surface during use reduces the protective qualities of the cleaning creme, so it must be re-applied regularly to maintain the appearance of the cooktop
