ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING
• If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric
shock. Do not reuse your COOKTOP until the glass surface has been changed.
• When using the COOKTOP, never use aluminum foil, products wrapped in aluminum
foil, or deep-frozen food in aluminum cookware.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be carried out by qualified
personnel.
• Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installation in suitable cabinets
and workplaces which conform to the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection
against electric shock as required by certification agencies.
• If your appliance malfunctions or fractures, switch off all cooking zones, and contact the
Signature Kitchen Suite Customer Information Center for service.
CHILD SAFETY
WARNING
• This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they
have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use
the appliance safely.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.
CAUTION
• Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a cooktop or on the
backsplash of a cooktop – children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be
seriously injured.
• Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in
the area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
SAFETY DURING USE
• This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the home. It is not
designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
• Take care when plugging in electric appliances near the cooktop. Cords must not
come into contact with the hot surface. This could cause damage to the cooktop and cable
insulation.
• After use, switch off the hob element by its control and do not rely on the pan
detector.
• Always keep the control display panel clean and dry.
Do not let liquids or grease remain on the cooktop display area. Spilled or burnt-on foods
can activate or deactivate the appliance. Clean the display area thoroughly to resume
normal operation of the appliance.
• Avoid placing metal cooking utensils on the cooking surface areas. Metal objects
can become hot and cause burns.
