IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
THESE 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 fl ammable
materials touch these areas until they have had suffi cient
time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and
areas facing the cooktop.
• Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fi tting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires.
Smother the fi re with a pan lid, or use baking
soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fi re if allowed to become too hot.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of fl 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 fi re or short
circuit.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass,
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.
• Ventilating hood. The ventilating hood above your
cooking surface should be cleaned frequently, so the
grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the
hood or fi lter.
• 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 qualifi 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
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Do Not Place Hot Cookware on Cold Cooktop
Glass. This could cause glass to break.
• Do not slide pan across the cooktop surface. They
may scratch the cooktop surface.
• Do Not Let Pans Boil Dry. This may cause permanent
damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marking
that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of
damage is not covered by your warranty).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California
to publish a list of substances known to the state to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
IMPORTANT
Do not attempt to operate the cooktop during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off
the cooktop. If the cooktop is not turned off and the
power resumes, the cooktop will not operate and an error
message will be displayed.
WARNING
Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
• Use Only Dry Pot holders. Moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let the pot holders touch hot surface
units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of
a pot holder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers. Buildup
of pressure may cause the container to burst and
result in injury.
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 fi re. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept
clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or
fi lter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fi re. When
fl 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 fl 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 effi ciency.
