SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

1 Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as

described in this manual.

2 Be sure your appliance is properly installed and

grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

3 Never use appliance for warming or heating the room. 4 Children should not be left alone or unattended in area

where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

5 Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while

using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the Cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units and may cause severe burns.

6 Do not repair or replace any part of appliance unless

specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

7 Do not store flammable materials in the Microwave

Drawer or near surface units. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.

8 Do not use water on grease fires. Smother a flame or

use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with

baking soda or, if available, by a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

9 Use only dry potholders - a moist or damp potholder on

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot surfaces or radiant surface units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

CAUTION

in cabinets above a Cooktop+Microwave Drawer. Children climbing on the Cooktop+Microwave Drawer to reach items could be seriously injured.

11 Do not touch the surface units. These surfaces may be

hot even though they are dark in color. These surfaces may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other potentially hot surfaces include: cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

12 Have the installer show you the location of the circuit

breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

13 Befor e performing any ser v ice, disconnect the

Cooktop+Microwave Drawer power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

14 Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on

Microwave Drawer or cooktop. They could damage the Cooktop+Microwave Drawer and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

15 Teach children not to play with the controls or any other

part of the Cooktop+Microwave Drawer.

16 Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned

food a safe distance from your Cooktop+Microwave Drawer.

17 Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or

drapes a safe distance from your Cooktop+Microwave Drawer.

Do not store items of interest to children

RADIANT SURFACE UNITS

1 Use proper pan size — this appliance has different size

surface units. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of surface unit heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensils to heating element will also improve efficiency.

2 Never leave surface units unattended at high heat

settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

3 Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,

earthware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

4 To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable

materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with utensils, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

5 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.

6 Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is

used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Please see cleaning the glass cooktop section.

7 Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

8 When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on. 9 Deep fat fryers - use extreme caution when moving the

grease kettle or disposing of hot grease.

10 Always turn the surface units off before removing

cookware.

11 Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium

high heat settings.

12 Food for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on

frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

13 Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying.

Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying,

stir together slowly before heating or as fats melt.

14 Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats. 15 Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent

heating fat beyond the smoking point.

16 Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can

be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.

17 Large scratches or impacts to glass door or cooktop

can lead to broken or shattered glass.

18 Never use the glass cooktop surface as cutting board. 19 Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire

on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.

20 Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils

on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
