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.
