OPERATION
BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP
Read all instructions before using.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop is broken, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Do not place hot cookware over the keypads or indicator lights on the
control panel. Placing hot cookware on the control panel can damage
the electronic underneath.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass
cooktop, even when it is not being used.
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spills that may catch on fire.
• Keep flammable items away from the cooktop.
• Turn off all controls when done cooking.
• Turn cookware handles inward and not extend over adjacent surface
units to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware.
• Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking
on. Proper contact of cookware to heating element also will improve
efficiency.
• Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
