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

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 speciﬁ cally 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.

WARNING

Never use your appliance for warming or heating

the room.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR

THESE 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 or other ﬂ ammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufﬁ cient

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

• Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-ﬁ tting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the

appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

• 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.

IMPORTANT

Do not attempt to operate the cooktop during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the cooktop. If the cooktop is not turned off and the

power resumes, the cooktop will not operate and an error message will be displayed.

• 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.
