9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

When properly cared for, your new appliance has been designed 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.

Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of transport damage, do not plug it in.

Fire Safety

Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be certain that flammable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burners or elements. They could catch on fire.

Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:

a.Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

b.Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

c.Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

d.Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a.SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

b.NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.

c.DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

d.Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

-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.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Burn Prevention

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 sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

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

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.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).

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.

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

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.

WARNING

RISK OF BURNS

Metallic objects become hot very quickly on the cooktop. Never set down metallic objects, such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the cooktop.

WARNING

RISK OF BURNS

The pan detection may potentially fail to turn off the cooking zone due to spilled food or objects placed upon the cooktop. After each use, turn off the cooktop using the main switch.

If the display does not work when a cooking area is heating up, disconnect the circuit breaker from the fuse box. Contact an authorized servicer.

Child Safety

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, 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

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 appliance.

Cookware Safety

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.

Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for ceramic cooktops.

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.

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.

Proper Installation and Maintenance

Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for details.

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

Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood products on or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury.

Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged. Contact an authorized servicer.

Do not cook on a broken cooktop. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may create a risk of electric shock.

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. Refer all servicing to a factory authorized service center.

To avoid electrical shock hazard, before servicing the appliance, switch power off at the service panel and lock the panel to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally.

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 correctthe interference by:

Relocating the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

Increasing the distance between the cooktop and the receiver.

Connecting the receiver into an outlet different than the receiver.

It is the user’s responsibility to correct any interference.

CAUTION

Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device should exercise caution when standing near an induction cooktop while it is in use. Consult your doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker or similar medical device for additional information about its effects with electromagnetic fields from an induction cooktop.

Cooling fan

The cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan on its underside. Should the cooktop lie above a drawer, there must be no objects or paper in it. They may be sucked in and compromise the cooling of the appliance or damage the fan.

There must be a minimum distance of ¾" (20mm) between the content of the drawer and the fan input.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings

WARNING

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

7

Causes of damage

Scratches on glass ceramic surface: Cookware with rough bottoms will scratch the glass ceramic surface.

Salt, sugar and sand: Salt, sugar or grains of sand will scratch the glass ceramic surface. Never use the cooktop as a working surface or for setting things down.

Overheated cookware: Avoid heating pots or pans that are empty.

Hot cookware: Never set down hot pans and pots on the control panel or frame. This may cause damage.

Hard and sharp objects: Hard or sharp objects falling on the cooktop may damage it.

Boiled-over food: Sugar and products containing sugar may damage the cooktop. Immediately eliminate spills of these products with a glass scraper.

Foils and plastics: Aluminum foil and plastic will melt on the hot cooking zones. Stove protective film isn't suitable for your cooktop.

Unsuitable cleaning agent: Shimmering metallic discolorations on the glass ceramic surface result from the use of inappropriate cleaning agents and abrasion from cookware.

Protecting the environment

Energy-saving advice

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 a lot of 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.

8

Cooking by induction

Advantages of induction cooking

When cooking with induction, heat is generated directly in the base of the pan. This provides many benefits for you:

Time saving when boiling and frying. Cookware is heated directly.

Less energy is consumed.

Easy cleaning and maintenance. Spilled food does not burn onto the cooktop so quickly.

Controlled supply of heat and increased safety. The burner reacts immediately to any power change, so heating can be dosed precisely. Heating is interrupted when you remove the cookware from the burner even if the burner is still switched on.

Cookware

Only ferromagnetic cookware made of the following materials is suitable for induction cooktops:

Enameled steel

Cast iron

Induction-capable cookware of stainless steel.

To determine whether the cookware is suitable, check whether the base of the pot or pan attracts a magnet.

There are other induction-capable pots and pans whose bases are not completely ferromagnetic.

If the base of the cookware it

not completely ferromagnetic, only the area that is magnetizable will get hot.

Thus it can happen that the heat is not distributed evenly.

If the base of the cookware is

made from aluminum, among other things, the ferromagnetic area is also

reduced. It can be that this

cookware will not become

truly hot or it may not be

detected at all.

To get good cooking results, we recommend that the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of the cookware match the size of the burner. If a pot or pan is not detected on a burner, try it again on a burner with a smaller diameter.

Unsuitable cookware

Do not ever use adapter plates for induction or cookware made of:

Traditional stainless steel

Glass

Clay

Copper

Aluminum

Characteristics of the pan base

The characteristics of the pan base can influence the evenness of the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute heat uniformly, saving time and energy.

No pan or improper size

If no pan is placed on the selected element, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the element indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the element to stop the flashing. If you take longer than 90 seconds to place a suitable pan on the element, it will automatically turn off.

Empty pans or pans with a thin base

Do not heat up empty pans, or use pans with a thin base. The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The pan base could melt and damage the cooktop glass. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch the cooktop off. If the cooktop fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the technical service.

Pan detection

Each element has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which varies depending on the material of the pan you are using. You should therefore use the element that best matches the diameter of your pan.
