_ ARNING: When properly cared for, your new appliance has beendesigned to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions carefully before use.

These precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire and
injury to persons. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions
must be followed, including those in the following pages.

Intended Use

Child Safety

This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
Connect only to properly grounded outlet.

Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference. Refer to Installation Instructions for detail.

This appliance is intended for normal household use only. It is not approved for
outdoor use. See the Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the

manufacturer.

_ WARNING: Use this appliance only for its intended use as described inthis manual. Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm

the room. Doing so may result in overheating the appliance. Never use the
appliance for storage.

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.

When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal responsibility
of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices

by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit or hang on any part of an appliance.

This can damage the appliance, potentially causing severe injury.

_ CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in anappliance, in cabinets above an appliance or in the backsplash. Children

Important Safety Instructions

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR 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,
potholders or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units
until they have had sufficent time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and
areas facing the cooktop.

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.

Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

_ ARNING: Never leave the cooktop unattended, especially at high

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause
the container to burst and cause injury.

Always keep the cooktop and bases of pots dry. Liquid between the pot base and
the cooktop may build up steam pressure, causing the pot to jump suddenly and
causing injury.

Never operate the cooktop with spillover or liquid around the control area. Always
switch off the cooktop and dry the control area.

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.

Cookware Safety Use proper pan size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the

heating element 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 will also improve efficiency.

Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops may break with sudden
temperature changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for ceramic cooktops
(only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable).

Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills
and movement of the pan.

temperature settings.Keep an eye on the cooktop and do not allow
anything to boil over or burn. Boilovers can cause smoke and some foods
and oils may catch on fire if left on high temperature settings.

Cleaning Safety

Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work
areas or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.

Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns

from steam.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the cooktop.

means that the red glow below the element is not always visible. When you select a

low heat setting, the element turns off more frequently, while at a higher setting it
only turns off occasionally. Even at the highest level, the element turns off and on.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning

Daily Cleaning

Note:

Glass ceramic cooktop

Cleaning guidlines

Recommended cleaners indicate a type of cleaner and do not constitute an
endorsement.

_ AUTION: Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while the surface ishot, use only the blade scraper. The resulting fumes can be hazardous to

your health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack and damage the
surface.

Clean the surface when it is completely cool with the following exception: remove
dry sugar, sugar syrup, tomato products and milk immediately with the razor blade
scraper (See special cleaning chart).

Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge cloth (wash new sponge cloths
thoroughly before use) or a paper towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge
remains; rinse.

Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. When dry, buff surface
with a clean paper towel or cloth.

Wipe using a damp sponge or cloth, rinse and dry.

When using a cleaner, use only a small amount; apply to a clean paper towel or
cloth. Wipe on the surface and buff with a clean dry towel.

For best results, use cleaners such as cooktop cleaning creme, BonAmi ®, Soft
Scrub ® (without bleach), and white vinegar.

Avoid these cleaners

Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine bleach. These ingredients may
permanently etch or stain the cooktop.

Caustic cleaners cleaners such as Easy Off® may etch the cooktop surface.
Abrasive cleaners.

Dishwashing agents.
Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as Scotch Brite® can scratch and /

or leave metal marks.
Soap filled scouring pads such as SOS® can scratch the surface.
Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach can permanently stain cooktop.

Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD 40.

Cleaning charts

Type of Soil Possible Solution

Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or
tomato spills. Melted plastic film or

foil. All these items REQUIRE

IMMEDIATE REMOVAL. Failure to

remove these immediately can

permanently damage the surface.

Metal marks: Iridescent stain

Hard Water Spots

Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface

Remove these types of spills while the
surface is hot using the razor blade
scraper. Use a new, sharp razor in the
scraper.
Remove pan and turn off the element.

Wearing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30°

angle, using care not to gouge or scratch

the glass. Push soil offthe heated area.
After the surface has cooled, remove the

residue and apply the glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner.

Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless
steel bases may leavemarks. Treat

immediately after surface has cooled with
glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Ifthis
does not remove the marks, try a mild
abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft Scrub® without
bleach) with a damp paper towel. Rinse
and reapply creme. Failureto remove
metal marks before the next heating
makes removal very difficult.

Minerals in some water can be transferred
onto the surface and cause stains. Use

undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry.
Recondition with glass ceramic cooktop

cleaner. Remove boilovers and stains,
before using the cooktop again.

Maintenance

Surface scratches

Small scratches are common and do

not affect cooking. They become

smoother and less noticeable with daily

use of the glass ceramic cooktop

cleaner.

This appliance requires no maintenance other than daily cleaning. For best results,
apply cooktop cleaning creme daily.

Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner

before using to remove sand-like grains
and grit such as salt and seasoning.
Can be reduced by using pans with bases

that are smooth, clean, and dry before

use.

Use recommended glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner daily.

Be Careful: Diamond rings will scratch

the surface.
