The burners can now be used. 23 Safety locks Overheating protection Each burner is equipped with a temperature limiter. This limiter turns off the heating elements in the burner before the ceramic surface becomes too hot. Once the ceramic surface has cooled to a safe temperature, the heating elements will automatically turn back on. The overheating protection can be activated by: ­ turning on a burner without putting a pan on it. If the heating elements cycle on and off, even at the highest setting, the overheating protection has been activated. 24 Selecting cookware The cooking surface Your ceramic cooktop is made of an extremely hard and durable material. Ridged pots with dirty or chipped enamel bottoms may scratch the cooktop if they are pulled across the ceramic surface. 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. [. . . ] The ceramic surface can be cleaned using a cleaner for ceramic surfaces. Make sure that no cleaner residue remains on the ceramic surface by carefully wiping the cooktop with a damp cloth. After cleaning, thoroughly dry the ceramic surface with a soft cloth to prevent a build up of limescale deposits. The ceramic surface should be cleaned regularly with a cleaner for ceramic surfaces.
