equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select utensils having flat 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
the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward from Edges
of Cooktop and Should 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.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at a High Heat

that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line any

• 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 qualified 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 pans across the cooktop surface. They
may scratch the cooktop surface.

• Do not let pans boil dry. Pans that boil dry may
permanently damage the cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or
marking it. (This type of damage is not covered by your

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause
cancer, birth defects or other productive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.

• 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 filter.

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
