TIONS, SINCE SOIL BUILD-UP IS THE ONLY CAUSE OF DIS-
COLORATION. THE GENERAL ELECTRIC WARRANTY DOES

cool. However, the film is on the
surface only and can be removed.

ing like new, follow these steps.

tioner each day to remove all vis-
ible soil from the ceramic cooktop.

lated for cleaning glass-ceramic
