4 Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool

before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the cooktop.

5 Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the

appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination,
repair or adjustment.

6 The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance

manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

7 This electrical appliance is not recommended for use outdoors.

8 Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch

hot surfaces.

9 Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated

12 Do not attempt to modify or extend the power cord of this appliance.

13 Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This could result in an electric

shock.

14 Unplug the power cord by holding the plug, never by pulling the cord.

15 This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the

cleaning solutions and spills may penetrate the broken cook-top and
create a risk of electric shock.

19 Be careful when you clean the cooktop – If a wet sponge or cloth is

used to wipe spills on a hot cooking surface, be careful to avoid steam
burn. Also, some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.

share the power outlet with electrical appliances with high power
ratings such as air conditioners or electrical stoves, to avoid fires
caused by overheating the outlet.
