HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE
• Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply
the recommended cooktop cleaning creme to the
ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or
pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled
from cooking.
The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a
protective finish on the glass to help prevent
scratches and abrasions.
• Do not use the cooktop as a worksurface or
storage space.
• Please be careful at the edges when moving pots
and pans.
• Do not operate the cooking zones with empty pots
or pans.
• Do not turn on the cooking zones with no pots or
pans on the element.
• Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to
sharp temperature changes but is not
unbreakable. It can be damaged if hard or sharp
objects fall on it.
• Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron,
or other pots with rough edges or burrs. Moving
these can cause scratches on glass.
• If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a
hot cooking zone and melts, remove immediately,
while still hot. If left to cool down, it may damage
the surface when removed.
• Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop
surface.
DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES
To protect the environment, it is important that
worn-out appliances are disposed of in the correct
manner.
• The appliance must not be disposed of with
household rubbish.
• You can obtain information about collection dates
or public refuse disposal sites from your local
health council or environmental health office.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Keep meltable objects or materials away from the
ceramic glass surface, for example, plastic
utensils, aluminum foil, or cooking wraps.
If any materials or foodstuffs melt on the ceramic-
glass surface, these should be cleaned up
immediately.
NOTE: There is a risk of burning yourself when
the glass scraper is used on a hot cooking
zone!
• Do not use cookware with any dirt build up on the
bottom.
• Do not use cookware with rough or uneven
bottoms. This cookware can mark and scratch the
cooktop surface.
• Refer to the owners manual for proper cleaning
and maintenance of the cooktop.
• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
• Never cook directly on the galss. Always use
cookware.
CAUTION
Burn Hazard: The Cooking Zones may appear
cool when turned ON and after they have been
turned OFF.
CAUTION
Before disposing of old appliances please
make them inoperable so they cannot be a
source of danger. To do this, have a qualified
person disconnect the appliance from the
house circuitry.
