IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
■Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your cooktop unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the cooktop.
■Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from your cooktop.
■Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface unit.
■Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn off the surface unit then smother flaming pan by covering pan completely with well­fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray or, if available, a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
■Flaming grease inside or outside a pan can
be put out by covering with baking soda or, if available, a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
■Do not store flammable materials near
the cooktop.
■Keep hood and grease filters clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
■When preparing flaming foods under the
vent hood, turn the fan on.
■Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate on the cooktop.
■Do not touch surface units. These surfaces
may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas nearby surface units; allow sufficient time for cooling first.
■Potentially hot surfaces include the
cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
■To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the cooktop without extending over any nearby surface units.
■Always turn the surface units to
OFF
before
removing cookware.
■To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric
shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the
OFF
position and all surface units are cool before attempting to lift or remove the unit.
■Do not immerse or soak the removable
surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
■Clean the cooktop with caution. If a
wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns.
■ Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any appliance.
■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
■Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food on the cooktop when not in use.
■Keep cooktop clean and free of
accumulation of grease or spillovers which may ignite.
■Never heat unopened food containers.
Pressure buildup may make container burst and cause injury.
■Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings
on or near your cooktop.
■Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

Use proper pan size—This appliance is equipped with different size surface units. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of the cookware to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
■Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
■Be sure the drip pans and the duct are not
covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage cooktop parts and wiring.
■Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip
pans. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the cooktop.
■Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.
■Keep an eye on foods being fried at
HI
or
Medium High
heat settings.
■Foods for frying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
■Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
■If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.
■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
■Never try to move a pan of hot fat,
especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
