Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to
become too hot.
* Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let the potholders touch
hot heating surface units. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

Buildup of pressure may cause the container
to burst and result in injury.
iMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
* Know which touch key pad controls each surface
unit of the cooking zones.
* Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease filters should be
kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate
on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan
could catch fire. When flaming 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 cooking zones
of different sizes. Select utensils having fiat
bottoms large enough to cover the minimum
cooking zones, the pan detection sensors will
not allow the affected cooking zone to operate
without a pan sufficient size present.
* 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
Hi Heat Settings. 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 fire 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 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
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
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 warranty).
