GLASS COOKTOP SURFACE (on some models)
Use care when touching the glass cooktop surface. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
Installation Instructions Operating Instructions Safety
■Avoid scratching the glass cooktop surface. The glass surface can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.
■Do not operate the cooktop 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 surface become broken.
■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 surface, 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.
■Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the grates, even when the cooktop is not being used.
■Clean the cooktop surface with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface areas until they have cooled. Sugar spills are the exception to this. Please see Cleaning the glass cooktop surface section.
■When the cooktop surface is cool, use only CERAMA BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.
■To avoid possible damage to the cooking surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.
■After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning cream residue.
■Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
ELECTRIC WARMING DRAWER (on some models)
Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips
■The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the warming drawer.
■Do not use the warming drawer to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the warming drawer when not in use.
■Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your warming drawer.
■Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance away from your warming drawer.
■Do not warm food in the warming drawer for more than two hours.
■Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the warming drawer.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the warming drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.
■Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
■Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.
