of the appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave
plastic items on the cooktop as they may melt or soften if left too
close to the vent or a surface element.

Cooking Safety
Getting Started
• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface element before turning it on.
Be sure you know which knob controls which surface element. Make
sure the correct element is turned on. When cooking is completed,
turn element off before removing pan.
• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended, especially
when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boil overs
cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy
spills as soon as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended
cooking operations.
• NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface element.
Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious
personal injury or damage to the appliance.
• Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders may cause burns
from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used
as pot holders because they can trail across hot surface elements
and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool
before attempting to move or handle.
• DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the appliance, hood, or vent fan. Clean hood
frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter.
When flaming foods under the hood, TURN THE FAN OFF.
• NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting
or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch
on cookware handles.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer’s
instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover
distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking,
immediately discard the food and its container. The food could
be contaminated.
• If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN
THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of
control.
Cookware Safety
• Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and
stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loosehandled pans. Pans with heavy handles (especially small pans) could
be unstable and tip easily. Pans that are heavy to move when filled
with food may also be hazardous.
• Be sure cookware is large enough to properly contain food and
avoid boil overs. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying.
Pan should accommodate the volume of food that is to be added
as well as the bubble action of fat.
6
• To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due
to unintentional contact with the cookware, DO NOT extend
handles over adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward
the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they
are easily hit or reached by children.
• NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the cookware and
the appliance.
• This appliance has been tested for safe performance using
conventional cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories
that are not specifically recommended in this guide. DO NOT use
eyelid covers for the surface units. The use of devices or accessories
that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create
serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce
the life of the components of the appliance.
• Use proper pan material. Refer to “Before Using Cooktop” section
for recommended cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to
surface unit will also improve efficiency.
Heating Elements and Glass Ceramic Cooking Surfaces
To avoid risk of property damage, DO NOT use cast iron cookware.
Cast iron retains heat and may result in damage to the cooktop.
• NEVER touch the glass surface areas directly on or adjacent to the
heating elements when the cooktop is in use.
• Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Areas near elements may be hot enough to cause burns.
• During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or other
flammable material contact surface of cooktop or areas near
heating elements, until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKING SURFACE. If cooking
surface should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooking surface and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Cleaning Safety
• Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before
touching or cleaning them. DO NOT touch the surface elements or
surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a
wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
