Section 5: CARE AND MAINTENANCE Care and Maintenance CAUTION Avoid cleaning any part of the cooktop while it is hot. Do not clean any removable part of the cooktop in a self-cleaning oven. ABOUT THESE RECOMMENDATIONS • Always start by selecting the mildest cleaner according to the kind of soil and the material soiled. To prevent marring the stainless steel finish, always apply the cleaners in the direction of the polish lines. Rinse and dry immediately to avoid water marks. • Use clean applicators, i.e. soft cloths, sponges, paper towels, soap-filled pads, for cleaning and scouring. • The use of brand names in these recommendations is intended only to indicate a type of cleaner. This does not constitute an endorsement. The omission of any brand name cleaner does not imply its inadequacy. • The brands listed are suggested as examples of a type of cleaner, such as non-abrasive, mild abrasive, powder, creme, etc. Use all products in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
