IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Injury prevention
Do not touch the cooktop or the area surrounding it during or immediately after use. The cooktop may be hot even though it is dark in color.
Areas near it may become hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch the cooktop or areas near it until they have cooled.
Wait until the residual heat indicators go out.
CAUTION: Do not store toys or items of interest to children in cabinets above or behind the appliance.
Children climbing onto the cooktop to reach these items may be injured.
Children should not be left alone or unattended near the appliance when in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Protect your hands with insulated gloves or potholders when using the appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces can result in steam burns. Do not let the potholder touch the hot heating element. Do not use towels or other bulky items near the appliance.
To prevent burns and breathing difficulty, allow the cooktop to cool before cleaning. Some cleaners may produce toxic fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Keep all pans out of reach of children. Danger of burns
Pot and pan handles should be turned inward and not extend over the countertop to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spills.
Use the proper pan size.
Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the heating element. Using undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing or handles becoming hot. The proper size pot or pan will also improve effeciency.
glazed cookware on the cooktop, verify that they can be used on a cooking surface.
Before using glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other
Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.
At higher settings, be cautious of splattering grease or boiling over liquids, which may produce smoke.

16
Use
Overheating protection
Each burner is equipped with an internal temperature limiter. This automatically turns off the heating elements in the burner before the ceramic surface becomes too hot. Once the ceramic surface has cooled to a safe temperature, the heating will automatically turn back on again.
The overheating protection can be activated by:
– turning on a burner without putting a pan on it.
– heating an empty pan.
– an uneven pan not sitting evenly on the burner.
– the pan not conducting heat properly.
If the heating elements cycle on and off even when the highest setting is selected the overheating protection has been activated.
17
Use
Energy saving tips
– Use pots and pans with flat or slightly concave bases for the most efficient cooking. The pan base should rest evenly on the ceramic surface when hot. Uneven bases can lengthen cooking times and cook food unevenly.
– Cooking with a lid will also help prevent heat loss.
uncovered covered cold hot
– To reduce heat loss, make sure the pot size and the size of the burner correspond.
Cooking can be completed using the residual heat of the burners by turning the cooktop off 5 - 10 minutes before the food is finished.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components.
Do not use any sharp pointed objects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface and the surrounding frame and between the frame and the countertop.
Never use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads or strong cleaners e.g. oven sprays, stain or rust removers, as these could damage the surface of the appliance.
Do not use liquid dish soap to clean the cooktop. Dish soap can leave a permanent blue sheen on the ceramic surface.
Spills should be removed as quickly as possible to prevent them from burning on and becoming difficult to remove.
Turn off the cooktop immediately if any sugar, plastic or aluminium foil falls on to the cooking surface while in use. While the cooktop is hot, use a shielded scraper blade to clean off the surface. Take care not to burn yourself. Allow the cooktop to cool and clean with a ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the ceramic surface
The ceramic surface should be cleaned regularly with a cleaner for ceramic surfaces. Follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions.
Before cleaning allow the cooktop to cool. Wipe spills off using a damp cloth.
Stubborn spills are best removed with a shielded scraper blade.
Apply the ceramic cleanser using a soft cloth to remove any limescale deposits or metallic water marks.
A cleaner with a special additive to prevent water marks and smears on the ceramic surface can be used.
After cleaning, wipe the ceramic surface with a damp cloth to remove any residue. Cleaner residues could damage the cooktop or create toxic fumes when heated. Finally, dry the cooktop with a clean soft cloth.
