CLEANING AGENTS

Detergent and water

·

Mild liquid cleaner

·

Glass cleaner

After each use, wash, rinse and dry to prevent difficult soils. If heavily soiled,
gently scrub with plastic scouring pad. If soil is allowed to burn on, it may be
impossible to remove.

Do not cover with aluminum foil.

DIRECTIONS

Use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe up spills, especially acid spills, as soon
as they occur. This is especially important for white surfaces. When surface
is cool, wash with detergent and water. Do not use abrasive or harsh clean-
ing liquids and powders or oven cleaners. These will scratch and perma-
nently damage the finish. Dry with a soft cloth.

These stains are caused by overheating, and normally occur over a period
of time. They are usually permanent. To minimize:

1. Avoid excessive use of the high heat setting. Use HIGH only to start

cooking, then lower the setting to finish cooking.

2. Use flat bottom pans that do not extend more than two inches from the

surface element.

A non-abrasive metal polish such as Flitz may be used to help remove
stains. Flitz is available in many automotive supply and hardware stores.

finish and remove the markings. Turn on each element to be sure knobs
have been correctly replaced.

rubbing with the grain to avoid streaking the surface. To prevent scratching,
do not use abrasive or caustic agents. Chrome will permanently discolor if
