COOKTOP USE
It is normal for the surface of ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface
cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid permanent damage from pitting or scratching and to
condition the cooktop surface, clean the cooktop after each use. Ceramic glass
cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn
soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or harsh chemicals for
cleaning. All of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass
cooktop are available at most grocery stores. See the "Range Care" section for
additional information.
•
Avoid storing jars or cans above the range. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto
the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
•
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them.
Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.
•
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the
cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the
ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
•
To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware across the cooktop. Aluminum or
copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware could leave scratches or marks
on the cooktop.
•
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as
plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
•
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
•
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
•
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. They
could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.
•
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills as soon as possible. If
sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can
cause pitting and permanent marks.
•
Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly.
•
While wearing oven mitts, remove the spill using a scraper while the surface is
still warm.
BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP
1.
If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop surface.
