When cool, wash with warm soapy wa-
ter, rinse and dry. Never wipe a warm
or hot surface with a damp cloth as this
may damage the surface and may
cause a steam burn.
For stubborn soil, use mildly abrasive
cleaning agents such as baking soda
paste or Bon Ami*. Do not use abra-
sive cleaners such as steel wool pads
or oven cleaners. These products will
scratch or permanently damage the
surface.
NOTE: Use dry towel or cloth to wipe up
spills, especially acidic or sugary spills.
Surface may discolor or dull if soil is not
immediately removed. This is especially
important for white surfaces.

scouring pads, steel wool or powdered
