CAUTION
Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop is

Before Using Cooktop
Heating Elements and Glass Ceramic
Cooking Surfaces
•S urface areas on or adjacent to the unit may be hot
enough to cause burns.
•NEVER touch the glass surface areas directly on or
adjacent to the heating elements when the cooktop is
in use.
•Heating elements may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near elements and interior
surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause
burns.
• During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or
other flammable material contact surface of cooktop
or areas near heating elements until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
• DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKING SURFACE
If cooking surface should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooking surface
and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
Ceramic Glass Cooktop
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the
factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and
grease which may have remained from the
manufacturing process. Clean your glass top before
the first time you use it. A thorough cleaning with a
glass top cleaner is recommended.
Cookware
•Each cook has his or her own preference for the
particular cooking vessels that are most
appropriate for the type of cooking being done.
Any and all cookware, including Viking cookware, is
suitable for use on the cooktop and it is not
necessary to replace your present cookware with
commercial cookware. This is a matter of personal
choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in
good condition and free from excessive dents on
the bottom to provide maximum performance and
convenience.
Cookware Safety
• Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are
easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable,
warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Pans
with heavy handles (especially small pans) could be
unstable and tip easily. Pans that are heavy to
move when filled with food may also be hazardous.
• Be sure cookware is large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boil overs. Pan size is
particularly important in deep fat frying. Pan should
accommodate the volume of food that is to be
added as well as the bubble action of fat.
• To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials
and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
cookware, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent
burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side
or back of the appliance, not out into the room
where they are easily hit or reached by children.
•NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the
cookware and the appliance.
• This appliance has been tested for safe
performance using conventional cookware.
DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are
not specifically recommended in this guide.
DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface units.
The use of devices or accessories that are not
expressly recommended in this manual can create
serious safety hazards, result in performance
problems, and reduce the life of the components
of the appliance.

when exposed to heat and may be highly
flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an
appliance.
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics
away from parts of the appliance that may become
warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on the
cooktop as they may melt or soften if left too close
