This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the home. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the cooking zones.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
Do not place hot cookware on cold cooktop glass. This could cause the glass to break.
Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface. They may scratch the cooktop surface.
Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marking that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty.)
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly, meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160 ℉ and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180 ℉. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against food-borne illnesses.
Prior to using the cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning cream to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when the cooktop gets soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Please be careful of the cooktop edges when moving pots and pans.
Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to sharp temperature changes, but is not unbreakable. It can be damaged if hard or sharp objects fall on it.
Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron, or other pots with rough edges or burrs. Moving these can cause scratches on the glass.
Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface.
Do not use cookware with any dirt buildup on the bottom.
Do not use cookware with rough or uneven bottoms. This cookware can mark and scratch the cooktop surface.
Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
