IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including
the following:
■ Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your cooktop unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
■ Before performing any service, disconnect
the cooktop power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
■ Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
■ Have the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
■ Do not leave children alone—children
should not be left alone or unattended
in an area where an appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the appliance.
■ Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the cooktop.
■ 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 a cooktop—children climbing on
the cooktop to reach items could be
seriously injured.
■ Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your cooktop.
■ Always keep dishtowels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance
away from your cooktop.
■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your cooktop. They may become hot and
could cause burns.
■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance.
Flammable material could be ignited
if brought in contact with hot surface
elements 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 elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can
catch fire on a hot surface element.
■ For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface
element by covering the pan completely
with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat
tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type 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.
■ When preparing flaming foods under the
hood, turn the fan on.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate on
the cooktop.
