Before using for the first time

Clean the cooktop

Before using for the first time, clean the cooktop with a damp cloth and then dry with a soft cloth.

Heat the cooktop

The metal components of the cooktop have a protective coating which may give off a slight odor the first time the appliance is heated.

The smell will dissipate after a short time and does not indicate a faulty connection or appliance defect.

Touch controls

This cooktop has electronic touch controls activated by a finger. There is a separate touch control for each burner. A tone sounds to indicate that contact has been made with a control.

Keep the control area clean and do not rest things on it. The touch control sensors could mistake an item or debris for a finger tip contact, turning the cooktop on or off.

To prevent damage to the electronics never place hot pans on the control panel.
