To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.
• Keep area around appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and materials.
• If appliance is installed near a window, proper
precautions should be taken to prevent curtains
from blowing over burners.
• NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air
from the vent may ignite flammable items and may
increase pressure in closed containers which may
cause them to burst.
• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE
when exposed to heat and may be highly
flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an
appliance.
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics
away from parts of the appliance that may become
warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on the
cooktop as they may melt or soften if left too close
to the vent or a surface element.
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite
and metallic items may become hot and cause
burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid
spreading the flame. Extinguish flame, then turn on
hood to remove smoke and odor.
• Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie
sheet.
• NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
• DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking
soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to
smother fire or flame.
Before Using Cooktop
Ceramic Glass Cooktop
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the
factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and
grease which may have remained from the
manufacturing process. Clean your glass top
before the first time you use it. A thorough
cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended.
Induction Cookware
Induction cooking utilizes magnetic power
which reacts with iron in the base of
cookware, instantly
transforming the pot
or pan into the heat
source. The heat stops
when the cookware is
removed. Your
cookware MUST have
a magnetic layer of
steel for your induction cooktop to operate properly.
The cookware should have a flat, heavy magnetic
bottom and straight sides with a diameter of 5” (13 cm)
to 12” (31 cm) to accommodate the various sized
elements. The induction cookware should be in good
condition and free from excessive dents on the
bottom to provide maximum performance and
convenience.
All Viking cookware is induction friendly, as are most
other high-end brands of stainless steel and enamel
cookware. Most induction cookware will be suitable
for your induction cooktop if a magnet adheres to the
bottom surface.
• Cookware that is NOT suitable for your induction
cooktop includes pottery, glass, aluminum, copper,
bronze, and any type of cookware with a footed
base.
