For melting chocolate or butter or an even more delicate simmer, the

melt cap can be used in place of the standard burner cap on the
smallest burner.

DuraGuardTM Finish

The easy to clean DuraGuard TM finish helps keep your cooktop looking
new and bright. DuraGuard TM finish preserves stainless steel by
avoiding staining, discoloration and yellowing, while making even

baked-on soils easier to clean. Stainless steel with DuraGuard TM finish
should be cleaned the same way as traditional stainless steel. A soft

cloth or non-scratch sponge and warm soapy water will remove most
food soils.
