These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas nearby surface units; allow sufficient time for cooling first. I Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop. I To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the cooktop without extending over any nearby surface units.
