COOKTOPSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

This is the safety alert symbol, "WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical

shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the

following:

• CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to

children in cabinets above a cooktop - Children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be

seriously injured.

• Proper Installation - Be sure your cooktop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

• Never Use Your Cooktop for Warming or Heating

the Room.

• Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where cooktop is

in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop.

• Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the

cooktop.

• User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the cooktop unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a

qualified technician.

• Storage on Cooktop - Flammable materials should

not be stored near surface units.

• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or

flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do

not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not

use a towel or other bulky cloth.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS

NEAR UNITS - Surface units may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Areas near surface

units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing

or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient

time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.

• Use Proper Pan Size - This cooktop is equipped with one or more surface units of different size.

Select utensils 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

burner will also improve efficiency.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings - Boilover causes smoking and greasy

spillevers that may ignite.

i Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of

glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service

without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units - To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,

the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may

penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician

immediately.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area,

be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

For units with ventilating hood -

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently- Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
