CAUTION

DO NOT heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The cookware can absorb an excessive amount of heat very quickly, resulting in possible damge to the cookware and ceramic glass.

CAUTION

Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids should not be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.

CAUTION

After use, switch off the hob element by its control and do not rely on the pan detector.

Surface Cooking Tips

•The minimum pot or pan diameter recommended is 5” (13 cm). Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but not recommended.

•Remember to use the proper size cookware for the size element chosen. Smaller cookware should be used for smaller elements and larger cookware should be used for larger elements.

Note: If ALL elements are turned to HI for a long period of time, the internal temperature inside the cooktop may rise, causing the cooktop to turn off.
