oughly to prevent filmy residue.
• Dry with a soft cloth.
• Clean when cooktop and surface
units are cool.
• Wipe off the surface units after
each use.
NOTE: After each cleaning, heat
surface units until dry.
To darken surface units or to
remove rust spots:
• Make sure surface units are cool.
• After each cleaning, apply thin coat
of oil to surface units, then heat for
3-5 minutes. Slight smoking of oil
will occur.

dressing.
NOTE: Oil and dressing will improve
surface unit appearance, but will not
eliminate dark spots caused by
grease and food.
• Clean when cooktop and surface
units are cool.
