CEM Cooktop Care and Use Manual

BEFORE USE CARE

Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For
example, apply a small amount of Cooktop Cleaning
®
Creme on a daily basis.
This provides a protective film that makes it easy to
remove water spots or food spatters.
Use a clean cloth and apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme
before each use to remove dust or metal marks that
can occur on the counterlevel surface between uses.
The temperature of the cooking surface during use
reduces the protective qualities of the Cleaning Creme®,
so it must be re-applied regularly to maintain the
appearance of the cooktop.
