INSTRUCTIONS
Glazed Cooking Utensils
•
Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for
cooktop service without
breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
Utensil Handles Should Be
Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Units
•
To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of a utensil
should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does
not extend over adjacent
surface units.
Do Not Cook on Broken
Cooktop
•
If cooktop should break,
cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create
a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
When Cleaning the Cooktop:
•
Make sure all controls are
off and all surfaces are cool
before cleaning any part of
the cooktop.
•
Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
