U N I Q U E 2 4 C T / 3 0 C T / 3 6 C T Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid, baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Operation of the Surface Burners. When the burners are operated for the first time, a small amount of smoke may be generated due to tape residue or manufacturing lubrication. THIS IS NOT DANGEROUS. Operate the burners for about five minutes to rid the burners of this material before cooking. Use only dry potholders.
U N I Q U E 2 4 C T / 3 0 C T / 3 6 C T Glazed cooking utensils: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use. Do not place plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop. These items could melt or ignite.
U N I Q U E 2 4 C T / 3 0 C T / 3 6 C T ENERGY-SAVING IDEAS Surface Cooking Use lids when surface cooking. A lid traps steam and uses it to speed up the cooking process. If you have a pressure cooker or vegetable steamer, use it. You’ll waste fewer vitamins, save time and cut energy costs. Use medium-weight, flat bottomed pans that match the flame size. Choose pans made of metals that conduct heat well.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the cooktop, the use of a CSA certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hardpiped connection. Never reuse an old connector when installing a new cooktop.
