technician to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance.

• Never modify or alter the construction of an appliance such as removal of panels, wire covers or any other permanent part of the appliance.

• Storage on Appliance. Flammable materials should not be stored near surface units.

This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.

UTIONUTION

Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the appliance. 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.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR THESE 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 touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

• Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

WARNINGWARNING

WARNING

WARNINGWARNING

Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to

become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the pot holders touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel or

other bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

IMPORTANT. Do not attempt to operate the cooktop during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the cooktop. If the cooktop is not turned off and the power resumes, the

cooktop will not operate and an error message will be displayed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which touch key pads controls each surface unit.

• 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 hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

• Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve efficiency.

Safety

• 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.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or short circuit.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers. If an element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the appliance.

• Ventilating hood. The ventilating hood above your cooking surface should be cleaned frequently, so the grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the hood or filter.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOKTOP ONLY

• Do Not Clean or Operate a 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 a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Do Not Place Hot Cookware on Cold Cooktop Glass. This could cause glass to break.

• Do not slide pan across the cooktop surface. They may scratch the cooktop surface.

• Do Not Let Pans Boil Dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage,

fusion, or marking that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty).
