Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury
to persons, or damage when using the cooktop,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
l
Read all instructions before using
the cooktop.
l
Install or locate the cooktop only in
accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions.
l
Do not use the cooktop for
warming or heating the room.
Persons could be burned or
injured, or a fire could start.
l
Do not leave children alone in area
where the cooktop is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the cooktop.
They could be burned or injured.
l
Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the cooktop.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot surface unit and you could be
burned.
l
Do not repair or replace any part of
the cooktop unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
l
Do not store flammable materials
on or near the cooktop. They could
explode or burn.
l
Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on cooktop
by covering with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda, or if
available, a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam-type extin-
guisher.
l
Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surface
units may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch
hot surface units. Do not use a
towel or bulky cloth for a potholder.
They could catch on fire.
l
Select a pan with a flat bottom that
is about the same size as the
surface unit. If pan is smaller than
the surface unit, some of the
surface unit will be exposed and
may result in the igniting of clothing
or potholders. Correct pan size
also improves cooking efficiency.
l
Never leave surface units unat-
tended at high heat settings. A
boil-over could result and cause
smoking and greasy spill-overs
that may ignite.
l
Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
cooktop. Only certain types of
glass, glass ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktops
without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
l
Turn pan handles inward, but not
over other surface units. This will
help reduce the chance of burns,
igniting of flammable materials,
and spills due to bumping
of the pan.
l
Do not heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause
injury.
l
Do not cook on broken cooktop. If
cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spill-overs may
penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
