Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping
■
a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on
■
the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass
could break when the lid is removed.
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills
■
and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool
down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the
spills using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If
sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to
the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.
To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware
■
across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough
finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or
marks on the cooktop.
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers
■
on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that
cannot be removed completely.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
■
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any
part of the entire cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as
■
a cutting board.
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
■
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm)
outside the area.
A. Surface cooking area
B. Cookware/canner
C. 1/2" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
■
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed,
or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
■
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the
ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
■
expansion channels can be used.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
■
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods
■
directly on the cooktop.
