Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP

• Know which touch key pads controls each surface 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 present.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward 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 Prepared Food on the Cooking Zones Unattended. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or become damaged.

• Ventilating hood. The ventilating hood above your cooking surface should be cleaned frequently, so the grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the hood or filter.

FOR CERAMIC COOKTOP ONLY

• 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.

• Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty).

• Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Only use aluminum foil as recommended after the cooking process, if used as a cover to be placed over the food. Any other use of aluminum foil may result in the risk of electric shock, 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.

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other productive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
