• Never leave prepared food on the cooking zones. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or become damaged.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Only use aluminum foil as recommended after
the cooking process, if used as a cover to be placed over the food. Any other use of aluminum foil may
result in the risk of electric shock, fire or short circuit.
• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop. If the cooktop breaks, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
• Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.
• Keep pets away from the product to avoid risk of fire or burns. Do not allow pets to climb on the product
even when it is not in operation.
• Liquids such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling, due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling is not always
present when the container is removed from the cooktop. This could result in very hot liquids suddenly
boiling over when the container is disturbed or a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid. To
reduce the risk of injury to persons:
- Do not overheat the liquid.
- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
- After heating, allow the container to stand on the cooktop for a short time before moving the
container.
- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container after heating.
• Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or storage space.
• Do not operate the cooking zones with empty pots or pans.
• Do not turn on the cooking zones with no pots or pans on the element.
• The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised
continuously.
• The appliance must not be installed behind a decorative door in order to avoid overheating.
Maintenance
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. All servicing should be done only by a qualified
technician to avoid the risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance.
• Take care to avoid steam burns if using a wet sponge or cloth to wipe spills on a hot cooking area.
• Wait for the cooktop to cool before using cooktop cleaners. Some cleaners can produce NOXIOUS
FUMES if applied to a hot surface.
• 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.
• If your appliance malfunctions or fractures, switch off all cooking zones, and contact an LG Customer
Information Center for service.
• Always keep the control 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.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on the hood or filters.
Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
