Setting Surface Controls

Radiant surface elements may appear to
have cooled after they have been turned off. The
glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the
glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These
items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden
spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface
elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty
glass/porcelain cookware or ANY material that can
melt to make contact with the ceramic cooktop. If
these items melt on the cooktop they may damage the
ceramic cooktop.
