SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Read before operating your cooktop All appliances -- regardless of the manufacturer -- have the potential through improper or careless use to create safety prob- lems. Therefore the following safety precautions should be observed: 1.

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