a cooktop or on the backsplash of a cooktop—children climbing on the cooktop to

reach items could be seriously injured.

WARNING: Never use your appliance for warming or heating a

room.

CAUTION: DO NOT touch Cooking Zones or areas near these

surfaces.Cooking Zones may be hot from residual heat even though they are dark in color. Areas near the Cooking Zones may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

CAUTION: Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using this

appliance.

 Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.  Never allow children to sit or stand on any parts of the appliance as they could be

injured or burned.

 Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn

while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

 Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use

baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

 When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed

to become too hot.

 Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in

burns from steam. Do not let the pot holders touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.

 Do not heat unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the

container to burst and result in injury.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING

 If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of

electric shock. Do not use your COOKTOP again until the glass surface has been changed.

 When using the COOKTOP, never use aluminum foil, products wrapped in

aluminum foil, or deep-frozen food in aluminum cookware.

 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its

service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

 The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be carried out by

qualified personnel.

 Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installation in suitable

cabinets and workplaces which conform to the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection against electric shock as required by certification agencies.

 If your appliance malfunctions or fractures, switch off all cooking zones, and contact the

Service Center.

CHILD SAFETY

WARNING:

 This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons

unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.

 Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the

appliance.

 Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept

away.

SAFETY DURING USE

 This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the home. It is

not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.

 Do not use the cooktop to heat the room.  Take care when plugging in electric appliances near the cooktop. Cords must not

come into contact with the hot surface. This could cause damage to the cooktop and cable insulation.

 Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise cooking when

preparing foods in fat or oil.

 After use, switch off the burner element by its control.  Always keep the control panels clean and dry. Do not let liquids or grease remain on

the cooktop controls area. Spilled or burnt-on foods can activate or deactivate the appliance. Clean the controls area thoroughly to resume normal operation of the appliance.

 Never place combustible items on the cooktop.  Never keep any combustible items or aerosol cans in a drawer located under the

cooktop.

 Avoid placing metal cooking utensils like spoons and spatulas on the cooking

surface areas. Metal objects can become hot and cause burns.

 Know which touch keypad 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. Refer to hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

 Use Proper Pan Sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different sizes.

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.

 If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed to direct

contact and could ignite clothing or potholder.

 Do not place any object on or near the control keypad area in order to prevent

accidental activation of the cooktop controls.

 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.

 Never leave prepared food on the Cooking Zones. Boil-overs cause smoking and

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

 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 rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

 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.

 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. Do not use sponges or cloth to wipe spills on a hot

cooking area. Use a proper metal scraper.

 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 marking that can affect the ceramic glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty.)

 Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boil-over causes

smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

 Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet. NEVER pick up or move a

flaming pan.

 Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking soda or a dry chemical or foam-type

extinguisher to smother fire or flame.

 Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.  Be sure you know which control pads operate each surface unit. Make sure you

turned on the correct surface unit.

 Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may results in

burns from steam. Do not let the pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

SAFETY WHEN CLEANING

 Always switch off the appliance before cleaning.  For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high-pressure

cleaner.

 Clean the cooktop in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning

instructions in this manual.

 Steam cleaners are not to be used for cleaning of the cooktop.  Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or rough metal scrapers to clean the

cooktop glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

 Clean Cooktop With Caution. Do not use sponges or cloth to wipe spills on a hot

cooking area. Use a proper metal scraper.

COOKING MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly – meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 170°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against food-borne illness.

HOW TO AVOID DAMAGING THE APPLIANCE

 Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply a recommended cooktop cleaning

cream to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when surface is soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

 Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or storage space.  Please be careful of the edges when moving pots and pans.  Do not operate the cooking zones with empty pots or pans.  Do not turn on a cooking zone with no pot or pan on the element.  Ceramic glass is very tough and impervious to sharp temperature changes, but is not

unbreakable. It can be damaged if hard or sharp objects fall on it.

 Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron, or other pots with rough edges or burrs.

Moving these can cause scratches on glass.

 If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a hot cooking zone and melts, remove

immediately, while still hot. If left to cool down, it may damage the surface when removed.

 Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface.  Keep objects or materials that are liable to melt away from the ceramic glass surface,

for example, plastic utensils, aluminum foil, or cooking wraps. If any materials or foodstuffs melt on the ceramic glass surface, these should be cleaned up immediately.

NOTE: There is a risk of burning yourself when the glass scraper is used on a hot cooking zone!

 Do not use cookware with any dirt build-up on the bottom.

 Do not use cookware with rough or uneven bottoms. This cookware can mark and

scratch the cooktop surface.

 See elsewhere in this manual for proper cleaning and maintenance of the cooktop.  Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.  Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

CAUTION

Burn Hazard: The Cooking Zones may appear cool when turned ON and after they have

been turned OFF. Take note of the Residual Heat Indicator above each cooking zone key.

DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES

To protect the environment, it is important that worn-out appliances be disposed of in the proper manner.

• The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.

• You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse disposal sites from

your local government office or environmental health facility.

CAUTION

Before disposing of old appliances please make them inoperable so they cannot be a source of danger. To do this, have a qualified person disconnect the appliance from the house circuitry.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

SELECTING COOKWARE

POTS AND PANS

The better the pot, the better the cooking results.

• You can recognize good pots and pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and

flat as possible.

 Pots with aluminum or copper bases can cause metallic discoloring on the ceramic

glass surface which is very difficult or impossible to remove.

 Be very careful when using cast iron pots or pots with damaged bases which are rough

and/or have burrs on them. Scratches can occur if they are slid across the surface.

 When cold, pot bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should

never be bowed outwards (convex).

 If you wish to use a special type of pan (e.g., a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok),

please follow the manufacturer’s instructions and do not use a very thin pan.

USE FLAT-BOTTOMED COOKWARE

Cookware must fully contact the surface of the cooking element. Use flat-bottomed pans sized to fit the cooking element and amount of food being prepared. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.

AVOIDING SCRATCHES

 It is recommended to always use heavier gauge stainless steel cookware on your

ceramic cooktop surface. This will help reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface. Low-quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface.

 Cookware should always be lifted over the ceramic cooktop surface to prevent

scratching.

 Sliding any type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop can affect the overall

appearance of the cooktop. Over time, sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop may alter the overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually, the buildup of scratches can make cleaning the surface difficult and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

 Scratches can also result from grains of sand (e.g., after washing vegetables) which are

dragged with the pot across the cooking surface.
