- 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.
Maintenance
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the cooktop unless it is specifically mentioned in this
manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful
to avoid steam burns.
• Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can cause damage and improper operation of the cooktop.
• If the cooktop is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and catch on fire.
CAUTION STATEMENTS
CAUTION
• To reduce the risk of minor or moderate injury to persons, malfunction, or damage to the product or
property when using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Operation
• To prevent poor air circulation, place the cooktop out of the kitchen traffic path and away from drafty
locations.
• If using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking.
• If frying mixtures of oils or fats, stir to combine before heating.
• Do not use a wok on the surface burners if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner
grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner
head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above
that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost or moisture on foods can cause hot fat to bubble up
and over the sides of the pan.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• Do not place plastic items on the cooktop—they may melt if left too close to the vent.
• Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
• To avoid burns, do not clean the cooktop surface until it has cooled.
