- You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and
you already know how to operate it.
- The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
- The fire department is being called.
- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an
oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or
other flammable materials contact heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns. Among these
surfaces are oven vent openings, surfaces near these
openings and oven doors.
Do not touch interior surface of the drawer while it is in
use. The interior drawer could become hot enough to
cause burns. Allow drawer and rack (if equipped) to cool
before handling.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing
to the side, open the door (or drawer) slowly and slightly
to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep your face clear
of the opening and make sure there are no children or
pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or
steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut
unless necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do
not leave open doors unattended.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is
capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol
content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of
burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven.
Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open
the oven door carefully.
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. Always use oven mitts, when the oven is warm. If a
rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact the heating elements.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.
Wait until it is cool.
CAUTION
To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance,
ensure rack is installed exactly per installation
instructions and not backwards or upside down.
Always use 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.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear
loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties,
scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Avoid reaching or leaning over the appliance. Be aware
that certain clothing and hair sprays may contain
flammable chemicals that could be ignited if brought in
to contact with hot surface units or heating elements and
may cause severe burns.
Electromagnetic Interference
WARNING
This induction cooktop generates and uses ISM
frequency energy that heats cookware by using an
electromagnetic 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. Induction cooktops may cause interference
with television or radio reception. If interference occurs,
the user should try to correct the interference by:

any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming
drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the
appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing
severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely
supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
WARNING
RISK OF BURNS
; The appliance will become very hot on the outside
during the cleaning function. Never touch the appliance
door. Allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children
away from the appliance.
Notes
▯ Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a
hot surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns
from steam.
▯ When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and
will not open. If the door does not lock, do not run Self
Clean. Contact service.
▯ Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep
pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where
kitchen fumes could reach them. During Self Clean,
fumes are released that may be harmful to birds.
Other kitchen fumes such as overheating margarines
and cooking oils may also be harmful.
▯ Keep oven free from grease build up.
Cookware Safety
Notes
▯ Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
▯ Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using
cooking or roasting bags.
▯ Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the
pan.
▯ Use proper pan size.
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element or burner to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different size. Proper relationship
of cookware to heating element or burner will also
improve efficiency.
7
9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
▯ Cookware not approved for use with ceramic
cooktops may break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for
ceramic cooktops. See Cookware Selection Guide.
▯ Always position handles of utensils inward so they do
not extend over adjacent work areas, burners or the
edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires,
spills and burns.
CAUTION
Plastic containers or plastic wrap can melt if in direct
contact with the drawer or hot utensil. If it melts on to the
drawer, it may not be removable.
WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
When cooking with a bain-marie, the cooktop and
cooking vessel may crack due to overheating. The
cooking vessel in the bain-marie must not come in direct
contact with the bottom of the pot filled with water. Use
only heat-resistant cookware.
Note: IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substance known to the state to cause cancer, birth defect or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of carbon monoxide. The fiberglass insulation in Self Clean ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
1.
Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2.
Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self-cleaning the oven.
3.
Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
Food Safety
CAUTION
To maintain food safety, follow these guidelines:
WARNING
DANGER OF INJURY
Cookware may spring or bounce upward due to fluid
trapped between the cookware bottom and cooking
zone. Always keep cooking zone and cookware bottom
dry.
Proposition 65 Warning:
This product may contain a chemical known to the State
of California, which can cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Therefore, the packaging of your product may

c.
DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.
8
Causes of Damage
9 WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
Exercise caution when opening the appliance.
Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer)
slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam
escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and
make sure there are no children or pets near the
unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut unless
necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not
leave open doors unattended.
NOTICES
▯ DO NOT place accessories or items such as foil,
greaseproof paper, oven liners or bakeware on the
oven cavity floor. This will cause heat to accumulate.
The baking and roasting times will no longer be
correct and the enamel will be damaged.
▯ Aluminum foil in the cooking compartment must not
come into contact with the door glass. This could
cause permanent discoloration of the door glass.
▯ Aluminum foil and plastic will melt in hot cooking
areas. Stove protective film is not suitable for your
cooktop.
▯ Do not cook on a broken cooktop. Cleaning solutions
and spillovers may create risk of electric shock.
▯ Cookware with rough bottoms will scratch the glass
ceramic surface.
▯ Salt, sugar and grains of sand will scratch the glass
ceramic surface. Never use the cooktop as a working
surface or for setting things down.
▯ Avoid heating pots or pans that are empty.
▯ Hard or sharp objects falling off the cooktop may
damage it.
▯ Sugar and products containing sugar may damage the
cooktop. Immediately eliminate spills of these
products with a glass scraper once the cooktop has
had sufficient time to cool.
▯ Never set down hot pans and pots on the control
panel or frame. This may cause damage.
▯ Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepe Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
▯ When baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not pack
the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping
from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be
removed. If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
▯ If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. The fronts of
adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the
seal clean.
▯ Shimmering metallic discolorations on the glass
ceramic surface result from the use of inappropriate
cleaning agents and abrasion from cookware.
▯ Do not use the appliance door as a seat, shelf or
worktop. Do not place any cookware or accessories
on the appliance door.
▯ Depending on the appliance type, accessories can
scratch the door glass when closing the door. Always
slide accessories into the cooking compartment as far
as they will go.
▯ Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle.
The door handle cannot support the weight of the
appliance and could break.
9
Protecting the Environment
Your new appliance is energy-efficient. Here you can find
tips on how to save even more energy when using the
appliance, and how to dispose of your appliance
properly.
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in
an environmentally friendly manner.
Saving Energy
▯ Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the
recipe or in the tables in the operating instructions.
▯ Use baking tins that are dark-colored, painted black or
have an enamel coating. They absorb the heat
particularly well.
▯ Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible
when the appliance is in use.
▯ It is best to bake several cakes one after the other.
The cooking compartment is still warm. This reduces
the baking time for the second cake. You can place
two cake tins next to each other in the cooking
compartment.
▯ For longer cooking times, you can switch the
appliance off 10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time and use the residual heat to finish
cooking.
▯ Always place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with
an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase in
energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and
avoid having to lift the lid.
▯ Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom.
Curved pan bases increase energy consumption.
▯ The diameter of the pan base must match the size of
the element. If not, energy may be wasted.
Note: The manufacturer normally indicates the pan’s
upper diameter. This is normally greater than the
diameter of the pan’s base.
▯ Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of
food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only
half full will use more energy.
▯ Use a small amount of water when cooking. This
saves energy and vegetables retain a larger
percentage of their vitamins and minerals.
▯ Select a lower power level.
▯ When cooking, ensure that there is sufficient supply air
so that the extractor hood works efficiently and quietly.
▯ Fan level adjust to the intensity of the cooking fumes.
Only use the high mode if necessary. A lower fan level
means lower energy consumption.
▯ With intensive cooking fumes, select a higher fan level
early on. Cooking fumes that are already distributed in
the kitchen mean that the extractor hood will have to
be operated longer.
▯ Switch off the extractor hood when it is no longer
required.
▯ Switch off the lighting when it is no longer required.
▯ Clean and change the filter at the specified intervals in
order to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation
and prevent a risk of fire.
