13. Glazed cookware - only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for
cooktop surface without breaking due to the sudden change in

temperature. Use only such cookware as you know has been

approved for this purpose.

14. Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over
adjacent surface heating elements to avoid burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with
the cookware.

15. Do not soak or immerse removable heating elements in water.

16. CAUTION - Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets
above cooktop - children climbing on the cooktop to reach items

could be seriously injured.

17. Do not touch surface units or areas near units. Surface units or
heating elements 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 or other flammable
materials contact these areas until they have had sufficient time to
cool. Other surfaces may become hot enough to cause burns -
among these surfaces is the cooktop.

t8. Do not cook on glass-ceramic cooking surface if the cooktop is

broken, Cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a shock hazard. Contact an authorized

Jenn-Air Service Contractor.

19. Clean glass-ceramic cooktops with caution. If wet sponge or cloth
isused to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam
burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a

hot surface.
