•
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, or spillage due to unintentional contact with utensils, position
utensil handles so that they are turned inward and do not extend over
adjacent surface units.
•
Glazed cooking utensils.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware can be used for
rangetop service without breaking due to sudden changes in
temperature.
•
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.
•
Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface that could fall and
damage it.
•
Do not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers –
If an element is
accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and
possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage
may also be done to the cooktop.
