Dueto certain atmospheric conditions, the cooktop on your
appliance may show signs of rust on the underneath side.
This isespecially true in areas of high humidity and salt air
areas.
Tohelp eliminate this condition,caution should be taken to
make sure that the underneath side of the main top is kept
dry. This is especially important in areas of high humidity
where moistureaccumulates. Ifyou detect signs of rust, we
havefound ithelpfultospraythe underneath side witha coat
of high-heat tested rustolium or silicone paint.
CAUTION: Remove top from appliance and spray in a
well vented area.
