Hot Surface Indicator Light	Each element features a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is
	too hot to touch. The signal light will turn on automatically in the area marked Hot
	Surface. The light remains on until the cooking area has cooled to a safe-to-touch
	temperature.
	If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cook-
	top as the cooktop is still hot.
Control Knobs	The placement of each knob corresponds to the placement of the heating element
	that it controls. To turn on any element, PUSH down on the knob and TURN in
	either direction to the desired heat setting.
Custom Accessory Griddle	An anodized aluminum griddle with a flat base and sized to span the bridge ele-
	ments is available. The accessory griddle, Model AEGRIDDLE, is available from
	your local Thermador dealer.

Using the Cooktop

Before Using the Cooktop for the First TimePrecautions for Long Life and Good Appearance of the Surface

•Remove all packing materials and literature from the cooktop surface.

•While cool, wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.

•Apply the Cooktop Cleaning Creme® packaged with the cooktop. Buff with a clean cloth. (See Care and Cleaning below for daily care instructions.)

•There may be a slight odor during the first several uses; this is normal and will disappear.

•Optimum cooking results depend on the proper cookware being selected and used (see Getting the Most of Your Cooktop below).

•The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot up to 25 or 30 minutes after the elements have been turned off.

•Read all safety precautions and Use and Care Manual information prior to operating.

•Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning Creme® will protect the sur- face and make it easier to remove food soil and water spots.

•The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it.

•Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it will melt and damage the glass surface.

•Do not allow plastic, paper, or cloth to come in contact with the hot glass sur- face; these items can melt or burn and damage the glass surface.

•Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and/or the cooktop.

•Never cook food directly on the glass.

•Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other metal stand on the glass sur- face.
