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.
