Your cooktop has two or three sections which are called modules.
One module has two 6-inch surface units. another has a 4-inch and an
g-inch surface unit, and the grill is another module. All the modules are
interchangeable and can be installed in any position in your cooktop.
Additional modules may be purchased from your dealer. Optional
items include: a griddle module. a rotisserie accessory for the grill; an extra
grill: a cutting board; and additional surface unit combinations.
Please read this Use and Care Guide for further instructions.

these Do’s and Don’&.

your cooktop.

grounded and connected to the supply of electricity by a
