IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
•Knowwhichknobcontrolseachsurfaceunit.
•Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts
free ofgrease thatcould catchre. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept
clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or
lter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch re. When
aming food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having at bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to element will also improve efciency.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or
a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line
any part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on
the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum
foil may result in a risk of electric shock or re or short
circuit.

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.
•DoNot UseDecorative SurfaceElementCovers.
If an element is accidentally turned on, the decorative
cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur
if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done
to the appliance.
•Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualied technician
immediately.
•CleanCooktopwithCaution.If a wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful
