Surface Cooking Tips
• The minimum pot or pan diameter recommended is 5” (13 cm). Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but not
recommended.
• Remember to use the proper size cookware for the size element chosen. Smaller cookware should be used for smaller elements and
larger cookware should be used for larger elements.
Note: If ALL elements are turned to HI for a long period of time, the internal temperature inside the cooktop may rise,
causing the cooktop to turn off.
DO NOT heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The
cookware can absorb an excessive amount of heat very quickly,
resulting in possible damge to the cookware and ceramic glass.
CAUTION
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids should not
be placed on the cooktop surface since they can get hot.
CAUTION
After use, switch off the element by its control and do not rely on
the pan detector.
WARNING
Unattended cooking with fat or oil can be dangerous and may
result in fi re.
NEVER try to extinguish a fi re with water, but switch
off the appliance and then cover fl ame e.g. with a lid or a fi re
blanket.
