IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the following:
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a cooktop – Children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
Proper Installation – Be sure your cooktop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
Never Use Your Cooktop for Warming or Heating the Room.
Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where cooktop is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop.
This appliance is not intended for use by people (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capacities are different or impaired or who lack the necessary experience or knowledge/expertise to do so, unless such persons are supervised or are trained to operate the appliance by a person who accepts responsibility for their safety.
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the cooktop.
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the cooktop unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Storage on Cooktop – Flammable materials should not be stored near surface units.
WARNING: Failing to supervise an electric grill when cooking on it with oil or fat is dangerous and constitutes a fire hazard.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.
Use Proper Pan Size – This cooktop is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
CAUTION: The cooking process should be supervised. Short cooking periods require constant supervision.
Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and 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, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
Metal objects, such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be left on the grill’s cooking surface as they may get hot.
Do Not Cook on 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. Turn off the device to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
If the power supply cord gets damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer, the latter’s service agent or by qualified personnel in order to avoid danger.
Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
The device is not designed to be started up by an external timer or by a separate remote control system.
For units with ventilating hood
–Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
For units with coil elements
–Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place – Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating elements should never be immersed in water.
