IMPORTANTSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• ONLY certain 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 the sudden temperature change.

• ALWAYS USE care when touching cooking zones.

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 zone being

used. Undersized utensils expose the heating zone and

may result in direct contact or ignition of clothing. The

proper-size utensil will also improve efficiency.

• NEVER LEAVE cooking zones

unattended at high settings. Boilovers result in smoking

or greasy spills which could

catch fire.

• NEVER cook on a broken

cooktop; cleaning solutions and spillage could penetrate it and

create the risk of electrical shock or fire. Contact a qualified

technician for repairs.

• LARGE SCRATCHES OR

IMPACTS to glass cooktops can lead to broken or shattered

glass.

•ALWAYS TURN utensil handles inward and away from other

cooking zones to reduce the risk of burns, ignition, unintended contact and spillage.

• NEVER use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

• CLEAN ventilating hoods frequently. Do not allow grease

to accumulate on the hood or filter.

• WHEN PREPARING flaming foods under the hood, turn the ventilation fan on.

• USE extreme caution when

moving a pan of hot fat. Wait until the fat is cool.

READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS INFORMATION NOW!

Be sure everyone in your home

knows what to do in case of fire.

Never use water on a grease

fire; it will only spread the flames.

COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:

Never pick up a flaming pan...

1. Turn off the surface elements.

2. Smother the flame with a tightly

fitting lid, use baking soda, or

use a dry chemical, foam or halon-type extinguisher.
