After each use, wash, rinse and dry to prevent
difficult soils. If heavily soiled, place an ammo-
nia-soaked paper towel on stains to loosen soil,
then gently scrub with plastic scouring pad.
These stains are caused by overheating, normally occur over a period of time, and usually
are permanent. To minimize:
1. Avoid excessive use of the high heat setting. Use It to start cooking, then lower the heat
setting to finish cooking.
2. Use flat bottom pans that do not extend more than two Inches from the surface element.
If large pans or canners are used, alternate the elements that are used.

to clean spills of acidic foods quickly. Vinegar

Remove stubborn soil with paste of baking soda
