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
“HOTSURFACE”warninglight.Itwillremainonwhenever
the glass surface exceeds 60°C�
