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.
