Rangetop Features (Designer) Glass Rangetop All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process. Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended.

Cookware Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cookware that is most appropriate for the type of cooking being done. This a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience. When using big pots, it is recommended to use the front elements. There is more room in the front and potential cleanup of rear of appliance due to staining or discoloration will be minimized.

Cookware Safety Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily

grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.

Be sure cookware is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.

Cookware Safety (cont.) To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials

and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by small children.

NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed cookware are suitable for the rangetop surface without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer's instructions when using glass.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface units. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this guide can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.
