• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat

or grease may catch fire if allowed to become

• 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.

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 flat bottoms large enough
to cover the 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 cooking zones. 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. Bo Movers 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. Onlyusealuminum 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. Theventilating 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.
