Important Safety Notice
I
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to per-
sons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
I
CAUTION
• Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets
above a cooktop – Children climbing on the cooktop
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 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 gar-
ments 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 refered to a qua-
lified technician.
• Storage on cooktop – Flammable materials should not
be stored near surface units.
• Do not use water on grease fires – Smother fire or fla-
me 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 tho-
se 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.
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat se-
ttings – 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 brea-
king due to the sudden change in temperature.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not ex-
tend over adjacent surface units
• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable ma-
terials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with
the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positio-
ned 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 care-
ful 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 over-
heat.
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 ma-
nual. 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.
This induction cooktop generates and uses ISM frequency
energy that heats cookware by using an electromagne-
tic field. It has been tested and complies with Part 18 of
the FCC Rules for ISM equipment. This induction cooktop
meets the FCC requirements to minimize interference with
other devices in residential installation.
This induction cooktop may cause interference with tele-
vision or radio reception. If interference occurs, the user
should try to correct the interference by:
• Relocating the receiving antenna of the radio or tele-
vision.
• Increasing the distance between the cooktop and the
receiver.
• Connecting the receiver into a different outlet.
It is the user's responsibility to correct any interference.
NOTE
: People with a pacemaker or similar medical device
should use care when standing near this induction cook-
top while it is on. The electromagnetic field may affect the
pacemaker or similar device. Consult your doctor or the
manufacturer of the pacemaker or similar medical device
for additional information about its effects with electro-
magnetic fields of the induction cooktop.
