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. 20 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 sheilded 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. 21 Safety features Safety lock The cooktop has a safety lock to prevent children or pets from turning on the burners or changing the settings. The safety lock can be activated when the cooktop is turned off as well as when it is in use. If the safety lock is activated when the cooktop is turned off then the cooktop cannot be turned on. If the safety lock is activated when the cooktop is in use: ­ The settings for the burners and for the timer cannot be altered. ­ The burners and cooktop can still be turned off but once turned off cannot be turned on again. To activate the safety lock: ^ Touch the control for the safety lock a until the indicator above it lights.

The ceramic surface can be cleaned using a cleaner for ceramic surfaces. [. . . ]
