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.
Important:
Do not straddle
cookware
between
two cooking
elements
unless the cookware
and cooktop
is designed
for that
purpose,
such as bridges
and griddles.
