NEVER use aluminum foil or foil
containers on the cooktop. These may
become very hot. Use foil only as
directed in this guide.
Aerosol-type cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly
flammable. Do not use or store near
appliance.
Clean only parts listed in this guide and
use procedures recommended.
COOKTOP
NEVER leave surface units unattended
especially when using high heat. An
unattended boilover could cause
smoking and a greasy spillover can
cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different
size surface elements. Select pans with
flat bottoms large enough to cover
element. Fitting pan size to element will
improve cooking efficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion
of the element will be exposed to direct
contact and could ignite clothing or
potholder.
Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop
service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Follow
utensil manufacturer’s instructions when
using glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of
cooktop, not out into the room or over
another surface element. This reduces
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, or spillage if pan is accidently
bumped or reached by small children.
GLASS-CERAMIC
COOKTOP

cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or
paper towel is used on a hot cooking area,
be careful to avoid steam burn.
Never stand on the cooktop.
DEEP FAT FRYERS
Use extreme caution when moving the
grease pan or disposing of hot grease.
Allow grease to cool before attempting to
move pan.
HEATING ELEMENTS
NEVER touch surface elements or
areas near elements.
Heating elements may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near surface
elements may become hot enough to
cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch or let
clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or areas near
elements until they have had sufficient
time to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include:
Cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
CHILD SAFETY
NEVER leave children alone or
unsupervised in area where appliance is
in use or is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance as they could
be injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the
appliance and utensils in or on it can be
hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place,
out of reach of small children. Children
should be taught that an appliance is not
a toy. Children should not be allowed to
play with controls or other parts of the
unit.
VENTILATING HOODS
Clean range hood and filters frequently
to prevent grease or other flammable
materials from accumulating on hood or
filter and to avoid grease fires.
Turn the fan on when flambéing foods
(such as Cherries Jubilee) under the
hood.

cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to
birds. Fumes released due to overheated
cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be
equally harmful.
