IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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
ammable materials touch these areas until they have
had sufcient time to cool. Among these areas are the
cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
• Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-tting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
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.
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires.
Smother the 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 re if allowed to become too hot.
• 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface unit.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch re. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept
clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or
lter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch re. When
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 surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having at bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to element will also improve efciency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or
a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line
any part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover placed
on the food. Any other use of protective liners or
aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or
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 lter.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers.
If an element is accidentally turned on, the decorative
cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will
occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also
be done to the appliance.
• 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 qualied 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).
