(on some

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

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

cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
