IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the
recommended cooktop cleaning creme to the ceramic
surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This
will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking.
The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a
protective finish on the glass to help prevent
scratches and abrasions.
• Do not use the cooktop as a worksurface or storage
space.
• Please be careful at the edges when moving pots
and pans.
•
Do not operate the cooking zones with empty pots or pans.
• Do not turn on the cooking zones with no pots or
pans on the element.
• Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to
sharp temperature changes but is not unbreakable.
It can be damaged if hard or sharp objects fall on it.
• Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron, or
other pots with rough edges or burrs. Moving these
can cause scratches on glass.
• If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a hot
cooking zone and melts, remove immediately, while
still hot. If left to cool down, it may damage the
surface when removed.
•
Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface.
• Keep meltable objects or materials away from the
ceramic glass surface, for example, plastic utensils,
aluminum foil, or cooking wraps.
If any materials or foodstuffs melt on the
ceramicglass surface, these should be cleaned up
immediately.
NOTE: There is a risk of burning yourself when
the glass scraper is used on a hot cooking zone!

bottom.
• Do not use cookware with rough or uneven bottoms.

cutting board.

cookware.
