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
