Before Use Care
Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For example, apply a small
amount of glass ceramic cooktop cleaner (packaged with range) on a daily basis.
This provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove water spots or food
spatters. The temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective qualities
of this cleaner. It must be reapplied before each use. Use a clean cloth and apply
glass ceramic cooktop cleaner before each use to remove dust or metal marks
that can occur on the counter level surface between uses.
