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.

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 ﬁ eld 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. Be sure your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by a qualiﬁ ed technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 - latest edition in the United States, or CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, in Canada, and local code requirements. Install

only per installation instructions provided in the literature package for this appliance.

Ask your dealer to recommend a qualiﬁ ed technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the electrical power to the appliance at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.

• User Servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing

should be done only by a qualiﬁ ed technician to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance.

• Never modify or alter the construction of an appliance such as removal of panels, wire covers or any other permanent part of the product.

• Storage on Appliance. Flammable materials should not be stored near or on the cooking surface. This includes paper, plastic and cloth

items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as ﬂ ammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable materials may explode and result in ﬁ re or property damage.

• Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed

to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-ﬁ tting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other ﬂ ammable

materials contact hot surfaces.

Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the appliance. Children climbing

on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

Important Safety Instructions

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires.

Smother the ﬁ re with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.

Fat or grease may catch ﬁ re if allowed to become too hot.

DO NOT TOUCH COOKING ZONES OR AREAS NEAR THESE SURFACES. Cooking Zones may be

hot from residual heat even though they are dark in color. Areas near the Cooking Zones may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other ﬂ ammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufﬁ cient time to cool.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating a room.

• Use Only Dry Pot holders. Moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the pot holders touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers.

Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

• 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 ﬁ re. Exhaust fan

ventilation hoods and grease ﬁ lters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or ﬁ lter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch ﬁ re. When ﬂ aming 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 ﬂ at 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.

• Never Leave Prepared Food on the Cooking

Zones. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

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, ﬁ re 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 ﬁ lter.

• 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 qualiﬁ ed 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 ceramicglass cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty).
