HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE
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 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.
• Do not use cookware with rough or uneven bottoms. This
cookware can mark and scratch the cooktop surface.
• Refer to the owners manual for proper cleaning and
maintenance of the cooktop.
• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting
board.
• Never cook directly on the glass. Always use
cookware.
DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES
To protect the environment, it is important that worn-out
appliances are disposed of in the correct manner.
• The appliance must not be disposed of with household
rubbish.
• You can obtain information about collection dates or
public refuse disposal sites from your local health
council or environmental health office.
CAUTION
Before disposing of old appliances please make
them inoperable so they cannot be a source of
danger. To do this, have a qualified person
disconnect the appliance from the house circuitry.
CAUTION
Burn Hazard: The Cooking Zones may appear cool
when turned ON and after they have been turned OFF.
