Use and Care Manual

CAUTION
Do not heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The cookware
can absorb an excessive amount of heat very quickly, resulting in
possible damage to the cookware and ceramic glass.
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.
