ENGLISH HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE • Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning creme to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions. • Do not use the cooktop as a worksurface or storage space. • Please be careful at the edges when moving pots and pans. • Do not operate the cooking zones with empty pots or pans. • Do not turn on the cooking zones with no pots or pans on the element. • Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to sharp temperature changes but is not unbreakable. It can be damaged if hard or sharp objects fall on it. • Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron, or other pots with rough edges or burrs. Moving these can cause scratches on glass. • If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a hot cooking zone and melts, remove immediately, while still hot. If left to cool down, it may damage the surface when removed. • Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface. • Keep meltable objects or materials away from the ceramic glass surface, for example, plastic utensils, aluminum foil, or cooking wraps. If any materials or foodstuffs melt on the ceramicglass surface, these should be cleaned up immediately. NOTE: There is a risk of burning yourself when the glass scraper is used on a hot cooking zone! • Do not use cookware with any dirt build up on the bottom. • Do not use cookware with rough or uneven bottoms. This cookware can mark and scratch the cooktop surface. • Refer to the owners manual for proper cleaning and maintenance of the cooktop. • Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board. • Never cook directly on the galss. Always use cookware. CAUTION Burn Hazard: The Cooking Zones may appear cool when turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES To protect the environment, it is important that worn-out appliances are disposed of in the correct manner. • The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish. • You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse disposal sites from your local health council or environmental health office. CAUTION Before disposing of old appliances please make them inoperable so they cannot be a source of danger. To do this, have a qualified person disconnect the appliance from the house circuitry.
