Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off.
The glass surface may
still be hot
and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the
range when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too
close to the surface elements.
