may occur. Common sense, caution, and care must be exercised
when installing, maintaining, or operating this appliance.
ALWAYS contact the manufacturer about problems or conditions you
do not understand.
Recognize Safety Symbols, Words, Labels
Hazards or unsafe practices which WILL result in
severe personal injury or death
Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in
death or severe personal injury
Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in
minor personal injury or property damage.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you
how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen
if the instructions are not followed.
Read and follow all instructions before using this appliance
to prevent the potential risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury or
damage to the appliance as a result of improper usage of the appliance. Use appliance only for its intended purpose as described
in this manual.
To avoid risk of property damage, personal injury or death;
follow information in this manual exactly to prevent a fire or
explosion.
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any appliance.
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before
operating it.
• Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.
• If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be
taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.
• NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent
may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed
containers which may cause them to burst.
• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to
heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near
an appliance.
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts
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.
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items
may become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot
foods.
In Case of Fire
To ensure proper and safe operation: Appliance must be properly in-
stalled and grounded by a qualified technician. DO NOT attempt to
adjust, repair, service, or replace any part of your appliance unless it
is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified servicer.
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame.
Extinguish flame, then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.
• 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, a dry chemical
or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.

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 instruc-
tions. 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 loose-hadled 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.
• 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.
