IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or those with long sleeves should never be worn

while cooking.

2. DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKING UTENSILES OR THE IMMEDIATE AREA THAT WAS

UNDER THE COOKING UTENSLE. These areas may be hot. The glass surface heats because it
is in contact with the hot cooking vessel.

3. Use dry potholders only. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam.

Do not use towels or cloths in place of potholders.

4. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Always use utensils

that have flat bottoms. Use utensils that best match the surface unit size (smaller utensils on
smaller surface units) - and are a minimum of 4-inches in diameter.

5. UTENSIL HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER

ADJACENT SURFACE UNITS OR COUNTERS. To reduce the risk of INJURY, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units or counter edges.

6. Never leave the cooktop unattended when heating elements are turned on. Boil over causes

smoking and greasy spillovers that may cause injury.

7. Use high heat setting only when necessary, and never when not monitoring the utensil. Use low to

medium settings to heat oil slowly.

8. Hold the handle of the utensil to prevent movement when stirring or turning food.

9. Do not use utensils that do not attract and hold a magnet and never use a steel plate or griddle to

heat a nonmagnetic utensil, which can cause INJURY or DAMAGE to the cooktop elements and
controls.

10. Clean the cooktop with caution. If soil must be removed while the cooktop is hot, clean the hot

top with a plastic spatula and then wipe with a dry cloth. DO NOT USE WET CLOTH OR
SPONGE WHILE THE COOKTOP IS HOT since steam can be generated if the cloth or sponge
is held in place on the hot spot. Some cleaners may produce noxious fumes if applied to hot
surfaces.

CAUTION – The cooktop is for cooking. Never use it to warm or heat a room.
Be sure your cooktop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified service installer in

accordance with local codes and the installation instructions provided with the cooktop.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the use

and care instructions. All servicing should be done by a qualified service technician.

 Be sure all packing materials, labels or tape are removed from the cooktop surface.
 Wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.
 Apply a Glass Ceramic Cleaning Crème. Buff with a clean cloth. (See CARE AND

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS for glass top.)

Precautions to observe to preserve the cooktop appearance.

 Regular use of the Cooktop Cleaning Crème on the glass surface will protect the surface

and make it easier to remove food soil and water spots.

 The glass surface is resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is

dropped on it with sufficient force.

 Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass, it can melt and damage the glass.
 Do not allow plastic to come in contact with a hot glass surface. They can melt or burn

and damage the glass surface.

 Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and/or the cooktop.
 Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.
 Do not slide utensils across cooking surface. This may cause scratching. Utensils with

damage the cooktop elements.
