Installation & Owners Manual

SAFETY WHEN CLEANING

 Always switch off the appliance before cleaning.

 For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high-pressure

cleaner.

 Clean the cooktop in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning

instructions in this manual.

 Steam cleaners are not to be used for cleaning of the cooktop.

 Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or rough metal scrapers to clean the

cooktop glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering

of the glass.

 Clean Cooktop With Caution. Do not use sponges or cloth to wipe spills on a hot

cooking area. Use a proper metal scraper.

COOKING MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly – meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F

and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 170°F. Cooking to these temperatures

usually protects against food-borne illness.

HOW TO AVOID DAMAGING THE APPLIANCE

 Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply a recommended cooktop cleaning

cream to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make

cleaning easier when surface is 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 work surface or storage space.

 Please be careful of the edges when moving pots and pans.

 Do not operate the cooking zones with empty pots or pans.

 Do not turn on a cooking zone with no pot or pan 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 objects or materials that are liable to melt away from the ceramic glass surface,

for example, plastic utensils, aluminum foil, or cooking wraps. If any materials or

foodstuffs melt on the ceramic glass 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!

 Do not use cookware with any dirt build-up on the bottom.
