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 fi lm 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 counter level 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 ap-
pearance of the cooktop.
