How to keep your cooktop looking like new

Your cooktop is designed for easy care. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn
off as on open-coil elements. Because of this, you should keep the surface dust free and
soil free before heating. Use the Cooktop Polishing Creme, included with your range, to
clean and maintain the cooktop.
