have had time to cool.
• ONLY SOME kinds of glass or ceramic
cookware can be used for cooktop
cooking. Make sure the cookware you
choose to use is designed for cooktop

sudden temperature change
• ALWAYS USE care when touching
cooktop burners. They will retain heat
after the cooktop has been turned off,

cooking should be flat on the bottom
and large enough to cover the heating
area being used. Undersized utensils
expose the open flame and may result
in direct contact or ignition of clothing.
• DO NOT use a wok on the cooking
surface if the wok has a round metal ring
which is placed over the burner grate to
support the wok This ring acts as a heat
trap which may damage the burner
grate and burner head. Also, it may
cause the burner to work improperly.

level above that allowed by current
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
