Additional tips:
l
Sugar spills and soils
(such as jellies and
candy syrups) can cause pitting on the
cooktop
if
not removed
while the ceramic
surface is still warm.
Remove as soon as
possible after the spill occurs.
l
Remove dark streaks, specks and
discoloration
with Cooklop Polishing
Creme.
l
Remove metal marks
(from copper or
aluminum pans) with Cooktop Polishing
Creme before heating the cooktop again. If
heated before cleaning, metal marks may
not come off.
l
Tiny scratches or abrasions do not
affect cooking.
In time, these will become
less visible as a result of cleaning. To
prevent scratches and abrasions, use
Cooktop Polishing Creme regularly.
l
Nonabrasive cleanser with damp paper
towel or sponge
can be used as an
alternative method for removing cooked-on
soils.
Always rinse and dry your cooktop
thoroughly after using cleanser to prevent
streaking or staining.

Cleaning the control knobs

control knobs with sponge and
warm, soapy water.
Rinse well and dry
with a soft cloth. Do not soak.
4. Replace
control knobs by pushing them
firmly info place.
Make sure
all knobs
point to OFF.
NOTE:
When cleaning, never use steel
wool, abrasives, or commercial oven clean-
ers, which may damage the finish.
