7. DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS
NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
units may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch or let clothing
or other flammable materials contact heating
elements or areas near units until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
8. The surface temperature of the glass top is pro-
tected by high limit thermostats built into each
individual burner. The maximum temperature of
the glass ceramic top is rated at 1 080 °F. The
thermal protectors are rated at 939 °F to cycle
the burner off in order to protect the glass top.
Even on the highest setting, it is normal for the
burner to cycle on and off momentarily as the
thermostat senses a high heat condition. This
could be caused by size of the cooking utensil,
composition and gauge of materials in the
construction of the utensil and, most importantly,
the amount of surface contact between the glass
surface and the cooking utensil. Uneven
surfaces on cookware can cause premature
cycling of the high heat limit protection system.
9. Note – To avoid jeopardising the electrical
safety of the appliance, it is forbidden to use
high-pressure or steam jet cleaning devices.
