connected and grounded by a qualified electrician.
b) Never use this appliance for warming or
heating the room.
c) Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children
should not be left alone or unattended in area where appliances are in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance or in close proximity. When children become old enough to operate 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.

hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.
e) User Servicing – Do not repair or replace
any part of the appliance unless specifically recomended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
f) Storage in or on Appliance – Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
g) Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother
fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
h) Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp
potholders on hot surface may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
4. a) Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in burned clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
b) Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at
High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
c) Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types
of glass, glass / ceramic, ceramic, earth­enware or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
d) Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
5. a) Do Not Cook on 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.
b) Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Important Safeguards
6. CAUTION:
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range. Children climbing on the appliance to reach items could be seriosly injured.
7. 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 or other flammable materials contact heating elements or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
8. The surface temperature of the glass top is pro­tected by high limit thermostats built into each individual burner. The maximum temperature of the glass ceramic top is rated at 1 080 °F. The thermal protectors are rated at 939 °F to cycle the burner off in order to protect the glass top.
Even on the highest setting, it is normal for the burner to cycle on and off momentarily as the thermostat senses a high heat condition. This could be caused by size of the cooking utensil, composition and gauge of materials in the construction of the utensil and, most importantly, the amount of surface contact between the glass surface and the cooking utensil. Uneven surfaces on cookware can cause premature cycling of the high heat limit protection system.
9. Note – To avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of the appliance, it is forbidden to use high-pressure or steam jet cleaning devices.
