Never leave lit burners unattended. A boil-over may result, causing smoke or fire.
•
Do not use your cooktop for warming or heating the room.
•
The handle of utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward but not
extending over adjacent burner.
•
To reduce the risk of burns and ignition of flammable materials, the burner flame
should not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
•
Grease is flammable. Never allow grease to collect around top burners or
cooktop surface. Wipe spillovers immediately.
•
Only certain types of glass, glass / ceramic, earth ware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop use without breaking due to sudden change in
temperature.
•
Do not use water on grease fire. Smother the fire or flame or use baking soda,
multipurpose dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.

Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where cooktop is in use.
Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop.
•

•
Do not touch burners, grates or areas near cooktop after use. Units may be hot
even thought it may not be obvious. Areas near burners and grates may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable material contact cooktop or areas near it until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
CARE AND CLEANING
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and a warm detergent solution is generally enough to
keep your cooktop clean and beautiful. This is done when the cooktop is cool. Use a
dry cloth or paper towel to clean splatters and spills when surfaces are warm.
GLASS
We recommend the use of
HOPE’S CLEANING CREAM
for care and maintenance of
the glass surfaces. For more information about this product and a dealer near you,

STAINLESS STEEL
The best way to clean metal surfaces on your stove is to wipe them down with a damp
cloth, and then dry thoroughly, stubborn spots caused by spillage and discoloration
from heat may be removed by the use of lemon juice, vinegar, or chrome polish. Care
must be used to keep these away from porcelain enamel surfac es. NEVER use coarse
cleaners, steel-wool scouring pads or metal brushes to clean chrome. These will make
deep scratches on chrome. These scratches cannot be removed.
