IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
• Use this cooktop only for its intended use
as described in this use and care guide.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
• Do not assume that you know how to operate all
parts of the cooktop. Some features may work
differently from those on your previous cooktop.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your cooktop unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE COOKTOP POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY
REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended while
the cooktop units are in operation.
They could be seriously burned.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the cooktop.
•
CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN
SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN CABINETS
ABOVE THE COOKTOP—CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE COOKTOP TO REACH
THEM COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the cooktop.
Be careful when reaching
for items stored over the cooktop. Flammable material
could be ignited if brought in contact with hot
surfaces and may cause severe burns.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloths in place of a
pot holder.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• Keep the vent grille and the grease filters clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate on or near the cooktop.
• Do not store flammable materials near the
cooktop. Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the surface units off. Smother
the flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Use a dry chemical or foam type fire
extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering with baking soda or, if available, by using
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam type fire
extinguisher.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure
could buildup and the container could burst causing
an injury.
• Do not touch the surface units. These surfaces may
be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in
color. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact surface
units or areas nearby surface units; allow sufficient
time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
removable modules, accessories and areas facing
the cooktop.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and
poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature
of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.
• Use proper pan size—Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware
will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of cookware to the surface unit will also
improve efficiency.
• Never leave the surface units unattended at high
heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Be sure the drip pans (on coil modules only) are
not covered and are in place. Their absence during
cooking could damage cooktop parts and wiring.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the cooktop tubs,
reflector pan, grill or griddle. Misuse could result
in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the cooktop.
