IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
 CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children
in cabinets above a cooktop – Children climbing on
the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
 Proper Installation – Be sure your cooktop is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
 Never Use Your Cooktop for Warming or Heating the
Room.
 Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not
be left alone or unattended in area where cooktop is
in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the cooktop.
 Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
cooktop.
 User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of
the cooktop unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
 Storage on Cooktop – Flammable materials should
not be stored near surface units.
 Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
 Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.
 DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS
NEAR UNITS – Surface units 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 surface units or
areas near units until they have had sufficient time to
cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and
surfaces facing the cooktop.
 Use Proper Pan Size – This cooktop is equipped with
one or more surface units of different size. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element.Proper relationship of
utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
 Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
 Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service
without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
 Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it
is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
 Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
 Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
 Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks,
spoons and lids on the hob surface as they may
overheat.
For units with ventilating hood –
 Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
 When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
For units with coil elements –
 Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place
– Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking
may subject wiring or components underneath to
damage.
 Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface unit drip
bowls, except as suggested in the manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric
shock, or fire.
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating
elements should never be immersed in water.
