Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use cookware with flat bottoms and the correct size to ensure even heat distribution and efficient energy use.
- Select the correct burner size for your pots to avoid wasting energy.
- Utilize lids on your pots to retain heat and reduce cooking time.
- Turn off the cooktop a few minutes before the dish is finished cooking; the residual heat will continue to cook the food.
- Clean the cooktop regularly to maintain its efficiency; dirt and residues can cause uneven heating.
- Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the cooktop. Children climbing on the cooktop to reach items can be seriously injured.
- Keep flammable materials away from the cooktop to prevent risk of fire.
- If the glass cooktop is broken, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the cooktop and cause a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
- Never use your electric cooktop to heat a room. This can result in a build-up of dangerous carbon monoxide gas and a serious risk of injury.
- When cooking, do not wear loose fitting or hanging garments, as these may ignite if they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.
