Getting Started
Cookware Safety
• Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and
stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-
handled pans. Pans with heavy handles (especially small pans)
could be unstable and tip easily. Pans that are heavy to move
when filled with food may also be hazardous.
• Be sure cookware is large enough to properly contain food and
avoid boil overs. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying.
Pan should accommodate the volume of food that is to be added
as well as the bubble action of fat.
• To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due
to unintentional contact with the cookware, DO NOT extend handles
over adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or
back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit
or reached by children.
• NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the cookware and the
appliance.
• 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 guide. DO NOT use
eyelid covers for the surface units. 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 the appliance.
• Use proper pan material. Refer to “Before Using Cooktop” section for
recommended cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to surface
unit will also improve efficiency.
Heating Elements and Glass Ceramic Cooking Surfaces
• NEVER touch the glass surface areas directly on or adjacent to the
heating elements when the cooktop is in use.
• Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Areas near elements may be hot enough to cause burns.
• During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or other
flammable material contact surface of cooktop or areas near heating
elements, until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKING SURFACE. If cooking
surface should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cooking surface and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.

Cooking Safety
• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface element before turning it on. Be
sure you know which knob controls which surface element. Make
sure the correct element is turned on. When cooking is completed,
turn element off before removing pan.
• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended, especially
when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boil overs
cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy
spills as soon as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended
cooking operations.
• NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface element. Pressure
build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal
injury or damage to the appliance.
• Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders may cause burns from
steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as pot
holders because they can trail across hot surface elements and ignite
or get caught on appliance parts.
• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before
attempting to move or handle.
• DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate
in or near the appliance, hood, or vent fan. Clean hood frequently
to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming
foods under the hood, turn the fan off.
• NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting
or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch
on cookware handles.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer’s
instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts,
warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard
the food and its container. The food could be contaminated.
• If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN
THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of
control.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
