To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your electric cooktop, follow basic precaution including the following:

This unit has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 18 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This unit generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this unit does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the unit off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antennae.

•Increase the distance between the unit and receiver.

•Connect the unit into an outlet or a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

!Caution

Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device should exercise caution using or standing near an induction unit while it is in operation, as the electromagnetic field may affect the working of the pacemaker or similar medical device. It would be advisable to consult your Doctor or the pacemaker or similar medical device manufacturer about your particular situation.

•Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the appliance. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging material.

•Proper Installation.

6 Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

•Know which touch key pads controls each surface of the Cooking Zones.

•Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire.

Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

•Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with one or more Cooking Zones of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the Cooking Zones. The pan detection sensors will not allow the affected Cooking Zones to operate without a pan present.

•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Cooking Zones. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

•NeverLeavePreparedFoodontheCookingZones.Boiloverscausesmokingandgreasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or become damaged.

•Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Only use aluminum foil as recommended after cooking process, if used as a cover to be placed over the food. Any other use of aluminum foil may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or short circuit.

•Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

•Ventilating hood. The ventilating hood above your cooking surface should be cleaned frequently, so the grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the hood or filter.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOKTOP ONLY

•Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

•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 harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

•Do Not Place Hot Cookware on Cold Cooktop Glass. This could cause glass to break.

•Do Not Slide Pan Across the Cooktop Surface. They may scratch the cooktop surface.

•Do Not Let Pans Boil Dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marking that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty).

Induction Cooktop Features 7

INDUCTION COOKTOP FEATURES

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP

A COOLER COOKTOP - A unique feature of the Induction Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF, the cooktop surface remains cooler than standard ceramic cooktops.

! Caution

The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.

MAGNETIC DETECTOR - The coil sensor automatically detects whether the pan is magnetic and eliminates accidental “turn-ONs.”

PAN SIZE DETECTION - The pan recognition sensor automatically detects and adapts the Cooking Zones to the pan sizes in use.

EFFICIENT - Induction cooking heats faster while using less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and delicate when simmering.
