Special Cleaning Instructions for Mineral Deposits and Discolorations
Problem: A gray brown stain cannot be removed when using cleaner cream.
Cause:
Condensation, when cooking, often collects and drips from cookware. The minerals
found in water may cause a gray or brown film to develop on cooktop. This film is very
thin and appears to be under cooktop.
Prevention: Daily and proper use of cleaner cream.
Removal:
• Wet surface with water and sprinkle on cleaner cream.
• Scrub with clean, damp paper towel until stain disappears.
• Clean remaining paste away with damp paper towel.
• Apply dab of cleaner cream and polish with a clean paper towel.
Do not use cleaners on a heated surface. Fumescould be hazardous. Wait for area
to cool before cleaning. Do not use cleaner cream to clean porcelain, paint or aluminium because
it could damage the surface.
