Before Using Your Cooktop:
1. Read all instructions before using your cooktop unit. If you have questions please call us
at 800-725-7711 between 9am and 5pm EST.
2. Insure proper installation and servicing. Have the cooktop installed by a qualified
electrician. All cooktops must be grounded for the controls to function. Improper
installation could destroy your electronic controls and void the warranty.
3. Know where your circuit breaker or fuse box is located and mark the cooktop location.
4. Do not repair or replace any part of the unit unless specifically recommended in the
Installation or Use and Care manual. All other servicing should be performed by a
qualified technician.
Safety Precautions:
1. Use the unit only for it’s intended purpose.
2. Never use the unit to heat or warm the room.
3. Before servicing, disconnect the power supply by removing the fuse or switching off the
circuit breaker.
4. When using an electrical appliance near the cooktop, be sure that the cord of the
appliance does not come into contact with the burner area.
5. Do not leave children unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop or the area around the cooktop.
6. Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the cooktop. They could
be seriously injured in attempting to reach these items.
7. Do not store items on the unit.
8. Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come into contact with, or
close proximity to the burners while in operation. Fabric may ignite and cause personal
injury. For personal safety, wear proper apparel - loose fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while cooking.
9. Allow sufficient time for the unit to cool before touching or exposing surface areas to
flammable materials.
10. Always use dry pot holders when removing utensils from the burners. Wet or damp pot
holders can cause steam burns. Do not let pot holders touch the heating elements. Do
not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.

11. WARNING : Clean the cooktop with caution. A wet sponge or cloth used to wipe
spills on a hot cooking surface can result in steam burns and may damage the surface of
the cooktop. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
12. Be sure all controls are turned off and the cooktop is cool before using aerosol cleaners.
The chemicals used in aerosol sprays may be flammable.
13. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on the unit.
14. Never leave the unit unattended while cooking. Very hot oils can cause fire.
15. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother the
flames or use a dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.
16. Always heat fat slowly, watching as it heats.
17. If high settings are used, remain near the unit to monitor for flammable splattering grease
and boil over.
18. WARNING : Glazed Cooking Utensils- Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
19. WARNING : 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.
20. Use the proper pan size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the element to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to
burner will also improve efficiency.
21. Before removing pots and pans, be sure to turn the element off.
22. WARNING : Do Not Cook on A Broken Cooktop. If the cook-top should break,
cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
23. Keep any venting filters clean to avoid grease fires and maintain good venting.
24. Do not store or use gasoline, kerosene or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this appliance.
25. IMPORTANT : Verify that meat and poultry has been cooked to an internal
temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit for meat and 180 degrees Fahrenheit for poultry to
protect against food borne illnesses.
26. Avoid scratching your ceramic glass. Rings, other jewelry and sharp metal objects may
scratch your cooktop.
