otherwise noted.
EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills
may affect the finish.

pad:
Gently clean around the model and serial number plate
because scrubbing may remove numbers.

Do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine
bleach, rust remover or ammonia because damage may occur.
Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth and dry thoroughly to prevent
streaking and staining.
A nonabrasive sponge is also recommended for stubborn soils.
A Cooktop Scraper is also recommended for stubborn soils, and
can be ordered as an accessory. The Cooktop Scraper uses razor
blades. Store razor blades out of the reach of children.

prevent scratches, pitting and abrasions and to condition the
cooktop. It can be purchased as a kit along with the Cooktop
Scraper.
