IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

!CAUTION

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS—Surface units may be hot 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 touch or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near surface units until they have had enough time to cool. These areas include the cooktop and backguard.

! WARNING

To avoid personal injury, do not sit, stand or lean on cooktop.

!CAUTION

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch heating elements or interior surfaces of cooktop until they have had enough time to cool.

! WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, make sure your cooktop has been properly grounded and always disconnect it from main power supply before servicing.

!Precautions

Do not cook food directly on cooktop surface, always use cookware.

Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical mixtures may interact with objectionable or even hazardous results.

Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas. They may melt and stick.

Do not slide rough metal objects across cooktop surface. Scratching or metal marking can result.

Do not leave fat heating unless you remain nearby. Fat can ignite if overheated by spilling onto hot surfaces.

Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause damage to cooking surface and pan.

Do not use cooktop surface as a cutting board.

Do not use cooktop for storage or as a display counter.

In Case of Fire

Fires can occur as a result of over cooking or excessive grease.

Though a fire is unlikely, if one occurs, proceed as follows:

Surface Element Fire

1.Smother the fire with a nonflammable lid or baking soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not water. Not salt. Not flour.

2.As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface controls to OFF. Turn off power at main circuit breaker or fuse box.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (cont'd)

ALL APPLIANCES

1. Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

2.Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating the Room.

3.Do Not Leave Children Alone—Children should not be alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

4.Wear Proper Apparel—Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using appliance.

5.User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

6.Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

7.Do Not Use Water On Grease Fires—Smother fire or flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

8.Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

!CAUTION

Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a cooktop or on the back of a cooktop—children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

1.Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance 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. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Use of oversized utensils concentrates heat on cooking surface and can cause damage to cooktop. Proper relationship of utensil to burner improves efficiency.

2.Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings—Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

3.Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.

4.Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extended Over Adjacent Surface Units—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

GLASS/CERAMIC

COOKING SURFACES

1.Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop—If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

2.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 noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

VENTILATION HOODS

1.Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently—Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

2.When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
