rinse with cold water and dry the surface thoroughly.
•Highly corrosive or abrasive detergents and cleaning equipment likely to cause scratches
must be absolutely avoided.
•Do not ever use any steam-cleaner or pressure washer
•Do not use any object that may scratch the ceramic glass.
•Ensure that the pan is dry and clean. Ensure that there are no grains of dust on your
