Cook Meat and Poultry Thoroughly

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or rough metal scrapers to clean the cooktop glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

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.

HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE

•Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning creme to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

•Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or storage space.

•Please be careful at the edges when moving pots and pans around.

•Do not have the cooking zones on with empty pans, or with no pots or pans on them.

•Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to sharp temperature changes but is not unbreakable. It can be damaged if particularly hard or sharp objects fall onto 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 glass.

•If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a hot cooking zone and melts, remove immediately, while still hot. If left to cool down, it may damage the surface when removed.

NOTE: There is a risk of burning yourself when the glass scraper is used on a hot cooking zone!

•Keep meltable objects or materials away from the ceramic glass surface, for example, plastic utensils, aluminum foil, or cooking wraps. If any materials or foodstuffs melt on the ceramic-glass surface, these should be cleaned up immediately.

DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES

To protect the environment, it is important that worn-out appliances are disposed of in the correct manner.

•The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.

•You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse disposal sites from your local health council or environmental health office.

CAUTION: Before disposing of old appliances please make them inoperable so they cannot be a source of danger. To do this, have a qualified person disconnect the appliance from the house circuitry.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
