Due to certain atmospheric conditions, the cooktop on your appliance may show signs of rust on the underneath side. This is especially true in areas of high humidity and salt air areas. To help 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. If you detect signs of rust, we have found it helpful to spraythe underneath side with a coat of high-heat tested rustolium or silicone paint. CAUTION: Remove top from appliance and spray in a well vented area.
