Speda[ Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
1} Aluminum foil
Useof aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.
2) Aluminum utensils
The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans
are used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusing
or marking may affect the ceramic glass surface.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the
cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled
using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to
future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the
cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass acrossthe cooktop. Do not useyour
cooktop asa cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directl on the
cooktop surface without a pan.
Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
