USING THE SURFACE UNITS
· Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have
been turned off.
· Do not use the cooktop if broken. If the glass should break, cleaners and or spills may penetrate the broken
cooktop and present a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
· Avoid scratching the glass. The cooktop can be easily scratched by using items similar to knives, sharp object,
rings, jewelry.
· Avoid storing items that can melt or possibly catch fire on the glass cooktop, even if not in use. In the even the
cooktop is accidentally turned on and or heat from the oven vent may cause items to melt or ignite.
· NEVER COOK DIRECTLY ON THE GLASS, ALWAYS USE APPROPRIATE COOKWARE.

TO AVOID OVERCOOKING, REMOVE POTS / PANS FROM THE COOKTOP WHEN THE FOOD IS
COOKED. AVOID PLACING ANY OBJECTS ON THE COOKTOP UNTIL IT HAS COOLED DOWN
COMPLETELY.
Make sure that the handles of cookware do not stick out over the edge of the range, to
avoid them being knocked over by accident. This also makes it more difficult for children to
reach the cooking pots/pans.

COOKWARE TIPS

The physical characteristics of pots and pans influence the performance of any cooking systems.
Therefore, emphasis must be placed on the importance of using proper cookware.
·
Use cooking vessels with flat bottoms and tight-fitting lids to conserve energy and shorten cooking
times.
·
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed cookware are
suitable for use on glass cooktops. Manufacturers suggest using low to medium heat selections
when using glass cookware.
·
Pan size should match the element size. A slightly larger pan covers the entire element and
prevents spillovers from contacting the heat surface and burning in. Using a smaller pan than the
element is a waste of energy.
·
To avoid spattering and to maximize efficiency, pan bottoms should be clean and dry before
coming in contact with the cooktop.
