Important Safety Instructions

Read before operating your cooktop

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

5. Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more
surface units of different size. Refer to the suitable and unsuitable

pots and pans section. Proper relationship of utensil to surface
unit will also improve efficiency.

6. Do not touch the hot surface of the ceramic glass. The induction
unit itself does not produce any heat during cooking, however, the
heat from the pan will leave the surface of the ceramic glass hod

7. Do not cook empty pots or pans.

8. 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.

9. GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother with 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.

10. 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.

-SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS-

Cookin 9 Utensils For Radiant Elements

Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking
utensils that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for glass cooktop use without
breaking clue to the sudden change in temperature. This is a matter of
personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good
condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide
maximum performance and convenience.

CAUTION

Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop with radiant elements
is not recommended. Cast iron retains heat when used on radiant

elements and may result in cooktop damage. This caution does NOT
apply when using cast iron over the induction elements.
