• Before first use, clean the cooktop. (See
Cleaning, page 8.)
• Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with
high sugar content to melt onto the hot
cooktop. Should this happen, clean
immediately. (See Cleaning, page 8.)
• Never use cooktop as a work surface or
cutting board.
• Do not slide metal pans across a hot
surface. The pans may leave marks which
can be difficult to remove or leave
permanent marks. Any marks should be
removed promptly. (See Cleaning,
page 8.)
• To prevent scratching or damage to the
glass-ceramic top, do not leave sugar,
salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the
cooktop surface with a clean cloth or
paper towel before using.
• Cooktop may emit light smoke and
odor the first few times the cooktop
is used. This is normal.
• The glass-ceramic surface may
appear discolored when it is hot.
This is normal and will disappear
when the surface cools.
• Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heat
for a period of time after the unit is
turned off.
•
NOTE:
Do not attempt to lift the
cooktop.
• Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge
to clean the cooktop surface. A film will
remain which may cause stains on the
cooking surface after the area is heated.
• Do not use foil or foil-type containers.
Foil may melt onto the glass. If metal
melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an
authorized servicer.
• Do not allow spills to remain on the
cooking area or the cooktop trim for a
long period of time.
• Do not use abrasive cleansing powders
or scouring pads which will scratch the
cooktop.
• Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia or
other cleansers not specifically
recommended for use on glass-ceramic.
• To retain the appearance of the glass-
ceramic gas cooktop, clean after each
use.
