suitable for cooktop serv ce; others may break :
because of the sudden change in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center'of
the rangewithout extending over nearby surface
units.
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn
the fan on.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass '
surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cool<top.and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
_ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop
can be scratched with items such as knives, sharp
instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on
