warning

The ceramic cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a tough

durable material that withstands heating and cooling without

breaking. However, it must be remembered that as it is

GLASS, it may break. Treat it accordingly!

The heating elements are concealed under the smooth glass

surface which has a pattern to show the location of the

elements. The glass will retain heat for a period of time after

the appliance has been turned off. This is indicated by a

“HOTSURFACE”warninglight.Itwillremainonwhenever

the glass surface exceeds 60°C.
