Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the
cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the
glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause burns.
Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface units of
different size. Select pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough
to cover the surface area of the heating element. Using undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in the ignition of clothing. Matching the size of the pot or
pan to the burner will also improve efficiency.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned 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 utensil, the
handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface units.
Glazed cooking utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for range-
top service without breaking due to sudden changes in temperature.
Cookware handles should be turned outward and not extend
over adjacent surface units. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with
cookware, cookware handles should be positioned so that they are
turned outward, and do not extend over adjacent surface units.
Cleaning. Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning
cream labels.
Be sure you know which control knob operates each surface unit. Make
sure you turned on the correct surface unit.
Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
