Page 36 CARING FOR YOUR RANGE LEANING THE CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP GR 399 LXH Your cooktop is designed for easy care. It has been prepolished at the factory for improved protection and easier cleaning. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn off as on open-coil elements. Because of this, you should keep the surface dust free and soil free before heating.
