UNITS. Surface units may be hot even though they are

dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot

enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing,

potholders, or other flammable materials contact sur-

face units or areas near units until they have had suffi-

cient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop

and areas facing the cooktop.

WARNING - DO NOT PLACE METALLIC OBJECTS

SUCH AS KNIVES, FORKS, SPOONS, AND LIDS ON

THE COOKTOP SURFACE SINCE THEY CAN GET

HOT.

Clean Cooktop With Caution.

▶

If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot

cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.

Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to

a hot surface.
