When cleaning the cooktop, make sure the cooktop is "Off", and be careful not to accidentally turn it "On". Never place hot pots or pans over the touch controls, as the underlying electronics may be damaged. The cooktop is safe to clean when all the displays, including the residual heat indicators are "Off". Before using for the first time ^ To avoid scratching the ceramic glass, clean the cooktop before the first use in order to remove any dust or fine particles left over from the installation process (see "Cleaning and care"). An odor may be noticeable during the first use of each burner as the residual moisture left in the heating element insulation dries out. Turning on the cooktop ^ Place your finger on the "On / Off" button, l, for about 2 seconds until a dot lights up above it. If a selection is not made within a few seconds, the cooktop will turn itself off. Certain items, particularly sugar grains or crystallized liquids such as molasses or syrups are actually harder than ceramic and can scratch the surface if they are not cleaned off immediately. Small or light scratches will not affect the safety or performance of the cooktop however. The burner rings and touch controls are fused into the ceramic glass and are resistant to wear if properly maintained. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, as they may eventually wear off the rings. Pots and pans Special cookware is not required, but as is true with all types of cooking appliances, the better the cookware, the better the performance. Following these tips will allow you to make the most of your ceramic cooktop. ­ For the most even and energy efficient cooking, the diameter of the pots should match the diameter of the burners as closely as possible. ­ Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth bottoms. Pans with convex bottoms will not cook well. 17 Selecting cookware ­ Using a lid while cooking will minimize the loss of heat and decrease the cooking time. ­ Copper bottom and aluminum pans may leave a residue on the cooktop in the form of metallic lines. These lines can be removed using a non-abrasive ceramic cooktop cleaner or a shielded scraper blade. Each time the residue is allowed to melt it becomes harder to remove and may mar the appearance of the cooktop. ­ Cast iron, glass or stoneware should not be used because they have poor heat transfer and may scratch the surface. 18 Cooktop care When cleaning the cooktop, make sure the cooktop is "Off", and be careful not to accidentally turn it "On".
