IMPORTANTSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• ONLY SOME kinds of glass or

ceramic cookware can be used for

cooktop cooking. Make sure the cookware you choose to use is

designed for cooktop cooking,

without breaking due to sudden

changes in temperatures.

• ALWAYS USE care when touching the cooktop elements. They will

retain heat after the cooktop has been turned off.

• COOKWARE USED for cooktop cooking should be flat on the

bottom and large enough to cover the heating area being used.

This improves heating efficiency.

Undersized utensils expose the

element and may result in direct contact or ignition of clothing.

• ALWAYS USE drip bowls to prevent wiring and component

damage. Do not use aluminum liners or foil in drip bowls. Improper

use may result in risk of electrical shock or fire.

• NEVER leave surface units unattended at high heat settings.

Boilovers result in smoking or greasy spills that could catch fire.

• NEVER put heating elements in water.

• ALWAYS turn utensil handles inward and away from other

surface units to reduce the risk of burns, ignition, unintended contact

and spillage.
