For normal soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm,
soapy water.
3. If needed, use a soapy steel wool pad or other mild household cleaners.
4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during
future heating.
For heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Use a soap filled s(ouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with
a solution of clear water and ammonia. Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a
clean cloth.
3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning
cream on the spots and rub gently using a clean damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff
with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning with the
cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing
scratches and abrasions.

element area with a clean damp cloth.
