 Surface  Cooking  Tips

 •   The minimum pot or pan diameter recommended is 5” (13 cm).  Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but not 

recommended. 

•   Remember to use the proper size cookware for the size element chosen. Smaller cookware should be used for smaller elements and 

larger cookware should be used for larger elements.

 Note:

 If ALL elements are turned to HI for a long period of time, the internal temperature inside the cooktop may rise, 

causing the cooktop to turn off.

 DO  NOT 

heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The 

cookware can absorb an excessive amount of heat very quickly, 
resulting in possible damge to the cookware and ceramic glass.

CAUTION

 Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids should not 
be placed on the cooktop surface since they can get hot.

CAUTION

After use, switch off  the element by its control and do not rely on 
the pan detector.

WARNING

Unattended cooking with fat or oil can be dangerous and may 
result in fi re. 

NEVER

 try to extinguish a fi re with water, but switch 

off  the appliance and then cover fl ame e.g. with a lid or a fi re 
blanket.
