cooktop ELEMENTS
Be sure you know which touch control operates each surface heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
Use the Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select pots and pans having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized pots or pans will leave a portion of the heating element exposed, increasing the danger of direct contact and the ignition of clothing. Matching the size of pots and pans to the sizes of the elements will also improve efficiency.
Use the Proper Type of Pan. This appliance has two kinds of heating elements, radiant and induction. While you can use most types of conventional cookware on the radiant elements, you can only use steel, cast iron, and some kinds of stainless steel cookware on the induction elements.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
Glazed cooking utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for

Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids should not be placed on the Induction Cooktop surface since they can get hot.
When preparing flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktopwill retain heat after the heating elements have been turned off.
Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
