CLEANING THE CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP (MODEL RF396LXE) (CONT.)

Creme into cooked-on soil using a paper towel.

If some soil remains, leave some creme on the

How to keep your cooktop looking like new:

IF THERE ARE

Sugary spills

and soils (such

as jellies and

candy syrups)

Dark streaks,

specks, and

discoloration

Metal marks

(from copper

and aluminum

pans)

Tiny scratches

or abrasions

WHAT TO DO

To prevent pitting on the

cooktop, wipe up with a

paper towel or clean, damp

sponge while the ceramic

glass surface is still

warm. Remove spills as

soon as possible after

they occur.

Use the Cooktop Polishing

Creme or a nonabrasive

cleanser with a damp

paper towel or sponge.

Use the Cooktop Polishing

Creme with a damp paper

towel or sponge before

heating the cooktop again.

If heated before cleaning,

metal marks may not

come off.

Scratches and abrasions

do not affect cooking. After

many cleanings, they will

become less visible. To

prevent scratches and

abrasions, use the Cooktop

Polishing Creme regularly.

NOTE: Always wipe your cooktop with clean water

and dry it well after using the cleanser to prevent

streaking or staining.
