BEforE Using THE CookTop for
THE firsT TimE
•  All products are wiped clean with solvents at the 
factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and 
grease which may remain from the manufacturing 
process.
•  If present, remove all packing and literature from 
the cooktop surface.
•  Clean the glass cooking surface before using it 
for the first time. A thorough cleaning with a glass 
cooktop cleaner is recommended. It only takes 
a minute and it puts a clean, shiny finish on the 
cooking surface before  use.
•  There may be a slight odor during the first 
several uses. This odor is normal and will 
disappear over time.
•  Optimal cooking performance depends on proper 
cookware being selected and used.
•  The cooking surface retains heat and remains 
hot over 20 minutes after the elements have 
been turned off.
•  The glass ceramic cooking surface is  durable 
and resistant to impact, but not unbreakable. 
It can crack or break if a pan or other object is 
dropped on it.
•  Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it 
will melt and damage the glass surface.
•  Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage 
the pan, element and/or cooktop.
•  Never cook food directly on the glass.
•  Do not slide cookware across cooking surface, it 
may scratch the glass
•  Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop 
Is not recommended. Cast iron retains heat and 
may result in cooktop damage.
