•

  Unlike radiant surface elements, the 

induction

cooking zones

hot

.

The glass surface

 may be hot

 from residual heat

transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.

•  Do not touch hot cookware or pans directly with

hands.

 Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect

hands from burns.

•

  The cooking zones may appear to have cooled after

they have been turned OFF. 

The glass surface may

still be hot

  from residual heat and burns may occur

if the cooktop is touched before it has cooled

sufficiently.

•  Do not place flammable items

 such as plastic salt

and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic

wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These

items could melt or ignite if placed too close to hot

cookware.
