11.DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS. Surface areas may become hot enough to cause burns. Surface elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch or let flammable materials contact heating elements until they have had time to cool.

12.To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned toward the center of the range so that it does not extend over adjacent surface elements.

13.Keep area clean and free from combustible material, gasoline, and other flammable liquids. Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns.

14.Do not heat unopened food containers; build-up of pressure may cause the container to explode and result in injury.

15.Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

16.Do not cook on a broken cooktop. Spillovers or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken glass top and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your cooktop become broken.

17.Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for glass cooktop use without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
