1. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this
manual. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the
room.

2. Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The
appliance must be installed and electrically grounded according to
local codes.

3. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance
unless specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician. Warranty service must
be performed by an authorize service agency.

4. The “push-to-turn” knobs of this appliance are designed to be
childsafe. However, children should not be left alone in the
kitchen while the cooktop is in use.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN::

Do not store items
of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach
items could be seriously injured.

5. GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of utensil can
be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose
dry chemical or foam type extinguisher. Let fat cool before
attempting to handle it. Wipe up spillovers immediately.

6. If you are “flaming” liquors or other spirits under an exhaust,

TURN THE FAN OFF..The draft could cause the flames to spread

out of control.

7. Never leave the surface area unattended at high heat setting.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers, which may ignite.

8. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance.

9. Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more
surface units of different size. Select utensil 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 surface unit will also improve efficiency.

10. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders
touch hot surface areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
