Your cooktop is designed so you can care for it easily. You can do most cleaning with items found around your
home. Cleaning your cooktop whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to keep it looking and working like new.

Before cleaning, always make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Refer to instructions on
all cleaning products before using them to clean your cooktop.
