■ Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain
heat after the controls have been turned off.
■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop.
The cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry
and rivets on clothing.
■ Large scratches or impacts to glass
doors or cooktops can lead to broken
or shattered glass.
■ Do not operate the radiant surface units
if the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop
and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately should
your glass cooktop become broken.
■ Never use the glass cooktop surface as
a cutting board.
■ Do not place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when
it is not being used.
■ Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot
and could cause burns.
■ Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping
any surface unit areas until they have cooled
and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills
are the exception to this. Please see Cleaning
the glass cooktop section.
■ When the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream to clean
the cooktop.
■ To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream
to the glass surface when it is hot.
■ After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel
to remove all cleaning cream residue.
■ Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on the cleaning cream labels.
■ Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation
of the range.
