  • Cooking zone dimensions are not obvious – denoted by single horizontal line.
  • Pan slides easily on glass surface when stirring.
  • Controls must be kept free of grease and moisture otherwise they will not respond to touch.
  • Any spills around or on the cooking zone can bake on, may need special ceramic glass cleaner or a glass scraper to remove.
