Important Safety Information
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or
death, make sure your cooktop has been properly
grounded and always disconnect it from main power
supply before any servicing.
WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury, do not touch surface
elements or area near elements. Surface elements
may be dark in color even when hot. Areas near
elements may be hot enough to burn. During and after
use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable
material contact surface elements until they have had
time to cool.
CAUTION
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion or
ventilation air.
Do not store gasoline or other combustible materials
near cooktop.
All Appliances
1. Proper Installation. Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
2. Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating
the Room.
3. Do Not Leave Children Alone. Children should not be
alone or unattended in the area where the appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear Proper Apparel. Loose fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using
appliance.
5. User Servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recommended in
the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
6. Storage in or on Appliance. Flammable materials
should not be stored on or near surface units.
7. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires. Smother fire
or flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
8. Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
Surface Cooking Units
1. Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different size.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface 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.
2. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended. Boilover
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
3. Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of
glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due
to sudden change in temperature.
4. Never sit, stand, or lean on any part of the cooktop.
5. Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. Reduce the risk
of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil. Position
utensil handle so that it is turned inward, and does
not extend over adjacent surface units.
