SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not operate the halogen/radiant surface
units if the glass is broken. Spillovers or
cleaning solution may penetrate a broken
cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately
should your glass cooktop become broken.
• Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain
heat after the controls have been turned off.
• Do not touch the surface units. These surfaces
may be hot enough to burn even though they
are dark in color. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact the surface units or areas
nearby surface units; allow sufficient time for
cooling, first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop
and areas facing the cooktop.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and
poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature
of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures
usually protects against foodborne illness.
• Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Use proper pan size—Select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit’s heating area. The use of undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the surface
unit to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to surface unit will also improve
efficiency. See the Cookware Tips section of
the guide.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop cooking; others may
break because of the sudden change in
temperature.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, the
handle of a container should be turned toward
the center of the cooktop without extending
over nearby surface units.
• Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance away from
your counter unit.
• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance away
from your counter unit.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food on the cooktop when not in use.
• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry
and rivets on clothing.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it
is not being used.
• Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when
it is in use. They may become hot and could
cause burns.
• Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may
damage the cooktop and the pan.
• Do not allow water, other liquids or grease
to remain on the cooktop or control panel.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• Clean only parts listed in this guide.
• Do not stand on the glass cooktop.
• Keep the cooktop clean and free of accumulation
of grease or spillovers which may ignite.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, always
be certain that the controls for all surface
units are at the off position and the entire
glass surface is cool before attempting to
clean the cooktop.
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance away from your
counter unit. They may become hot and could
cause burns.
