When the cooktop is cool, use only the recommended cleaning cream to clean the cooktop.
•Do not operate the radiant surface units 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 if your glass cooktop breaks.
•Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
