To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking
grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the appliance.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in a
steam burn. Do not let potholders touch
hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth which could easily
touch hot heating elements and ignite.
Always turn off all controls when cooking
is completed.
This appliance has been tested for safe
performance using conventional
cookware. Do not use any devices or
accessories that are not specifically
recommended in this manual. Do not use
eyelid covers or stove top grills. The use of
devices or accessories that are not
expressly recommended in this manual
can create serious safety hazards, result
in performance problems, and reduce the
life of the components of this appliance.
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
NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken
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 FRYING
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.
