Fire Safety
Read and save these instructions.
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line
any part of an appliance, especially surface unit
drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these
liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. For example, never use
the appliance for warming or heating the room.
Never use the appliance for storage.
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to
come in contact with a hot burner or grate. Do not
allow pans to boil dry.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent, or
fan, be certain that flammable materials such as
window coverings do not blow over or near the
burners or elements. They could catch on fire.
Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may
ignite.
!
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on
low or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high
heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef
Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or
filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches
fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease
fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking
fires.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the
oven.
!
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,
cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS.
If the flames do not go out immediately,
EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may
be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths
or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You know you have a Class ABC
extinguisher, and you already know how to
operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area
where it started.
3) The fire department is being called.
4) You can fight the fire with your back to an
exit. Have an appropriate fire extinguisher
available, nearby, highly visible and easily
accessible near the oven.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not
reach through fire to turn it off.
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS
NEAR 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,
potholders, or other flammable materials contact
surface units or areas near units until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the
cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers.
Buildup of pressure may cause the container to
burst and cause injury.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
Important Safety Instructions

!
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat
oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting.
Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and
injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the
parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are
instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or
hang on any part of an appliance, especially a door,
warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can
damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over,
potentially causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the
appliance is in use.
CAUTION – Items of interest to children should not
be stored in an appliance, in cabinets above an
appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing
on an appliance to reach items could be seriously
injured.
Cleaning Safety
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a
hot surface. Wet clothes or sponges can cause
burns from steam.
Do not soak removable heating elements – Heating
elements should never be immersed in water.
Cookware Safety
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the
pan.
Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the heating
element or burner to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating
unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more
surface units of different size. Proper relationship
of cookware to heating element or burner will also
improve efficiency.
Cookware not approved for use with ceramic
cooktops may break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for
ceramic cooktops (only certain types of glass,
heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable). See Cookware
Selection Guide for further details.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they
do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or
the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of
fires, spills and burns.
Proper Installation and Maintenance
WARNING: When properly cared for, your new
appliance has been designed to be safe and
reliable. Read all instructions carefully before use.
These precautions will reduce the risk of burns,
electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. When
using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions
must be followed, including those in the following
pages.
Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
This appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician. Connect only to

Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables or nonfood products in or near this
appliance. It is specifically designed for use when
heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive
chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the
appliance and could result in injury.
Make sure reflector pans or drip bowls are in place
– Absence of these bowls or pans during cooking
may subject wiring or components underneath to
damage.
Do not operate this appliance if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged. Contact an
authorized service center.

Remove the packaging from the appliance and
dispose of it according to local regulations.
Be careful to remove all accessories from the
packaging. Keep packaging elements and plastic
bags away from children.
Check the cooktop for transport damage after
unpacking it. Do not connect the cooktop if it has
been damaged.
The cooktop must be installed and connected by an
authorized specialist. No warranty claims can be
lodged for any damage resulting from incorrect
connection. Observe the installation instructions.
Thoroughly clean the appliance before using it for
the first time. This will eliminate any ‘newness’
smells and soiling.
Pots and Pans
Rough pan bases scratch the glass ceramic.
Avoid cooking on the cooktop with an empty pan,
especially with enamel or aluminum pans. This
could cause damage to the pan base and the glass
ceramic.
Do not place hot pots or pans on the control panel,
display area or the frame. This could cause
damage.
Never heat food in aluminum foil or plastic
containers. The material can melt and damage your
cooktop.
Iridescent discoloration can be caused by the
bases of some pans. These do not interfere with the
operation of the glass ceramic cooktop. Remove the
discoloration with glass ceramic cleaner.
Food Spills
Milk, sugar and food with a high sugar content
(e.g. jam) damage the glass ceramic surface.
Remove food spills immediately with the glass
scraper. Caution! The glass scraper has a sharp
blade.
Scratches on the Glass Ceramic
Always keep the cooktop dry and clean. Salt, sugar
and sand cause scratches on the glass ceramic. Do
not use the cooktop as a work surface or storage
space.
Twist Knob
Do not place the twist knob on the cooking zones.
It could be damaged.
Metal parts attached to the underside of the
magnetic twist knob could scratch the glass
ceramic surface. Always keep the twist knob clean.
Hard and Pointed Objects
Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on
the cooktop. Do not store such objects above the
cooktop.
