IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Hot pans on the display can cause damage to the electronics
underneath. Do not place hot pans on the area around the display.

The cooktop frames or surrounding (in the case of beveled
cooktops) may become hot due to the following factors: operating
time, high output settings, large cookware, and number of burners in
operation.

Cookware of aluminum or with an aluminum base can cause
shiny metallic spots. These spots can be removed with ceramic
glass or stainless steel cleaner (see "Cleaning and Care").

If residue remains on the cooktop for any length of time, it can
cook into the cooktop and sometimes it is then not possible to
remove it. Remove spills and splatters promptly. Also make sure that
the bottom of any cookware is clean, dry, and free of grease before
placing it on the cooktop.

The cooktop has burners of different sizes. Use cookware with a
level base that is large enough for the burner. Cookware that is too
small leaves part of the hot burner uncovered, which may cause
burns due to touching or ignite clothing. The use of cookware of the
right size also makes for better use of the heated areas.

Not any cookware of glass, glass ceramic, ceramic, clay or other
glass cookware is suitable for use on a burner. It can be damaged
due to sudden temperature change.

Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they
are used to wipe spilled food off a hot burner. Some cleansers can
emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be
careful when cleaning the cooktop.

Spilled food can cause odors and the spraying of grease, which
can ignite on the cooktop. Never leave the cooktop unsupervised at
high power.
