care to dry the surface following the “grain.” To help
prevent finger marks after cleaning, spread a thin film
of baby oil on the surface or a chrome protestant may
be used to help reduce spotting or fingerprinting.
Wipe away excess oil with a clean, soft cloth.
Porcelain Cooktop (on some models)
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if
misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any
acid foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the
finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry
paper towel to wipe it up right away. When the
surface has cooled, wash with soap and water or
cleansing powders. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat smatterings, wash with soap
and water or cleansing powders after the surface has
cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

cleanser. After cleaning, rinse the
