Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
injury to persons, Or
damage when using the cooktop, follow basic
precautions, including
l
Read all instructions before using the
cooktop.
l
Install or locate the cooktop only in accor-
dance with the provided Installation Instruc-
tions. It is recommended that the cooktop be
installed by a qualified installer. The cooktop
must be properly connected to electrical
supply and grounded.
l
Do not operate the cooktop if it is not
working properly, or if it has been damaged
or dropped.
l
If your cooktop has a ceramic cooktop
module, do not cook on it if it is broken. If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spill-overs may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
l
Do not use the cooktop for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be burned
or injured, or a fire could start.
l
Use the cooktop only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
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
For coil elements, make sure the reflector
bowls are in place during cooking. Cooking
without reflector bowls may subject the
wiring and components underneath them to
damage.
l
Do not line reflector bowls with aluminum foil
or other liners. Improper installation of these
liners may result in a risk of electric shock or
fire.
l
Do not touch surface units or areas near
surface units. Surface units may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface units become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable materials
contact surface units or areas near surface
units until they have had sufficient time to
cool.
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
heating element will be exposed and may
result in the igniting of clothing or potholders.
Correct pan size also improves cooking
efficiency.
*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
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch
hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth for a potholder. They could catch
on fire.
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
Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could cause
burns and container particles could cause
injury.
l
Grease is flammable and should be handled
carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to
handle it. Do not allow grease to collect
around cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill-overs
immediately.
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 extinguisher.
l
Never leave surface units unattended at high
heat settings. A boil-over could result and
cause smoking and greasy spill-overs that
may ignite.
l
Make sure surface units are off when you
are finished, and when you are not watching.
l
Do not store flammable materials on or near
the cooktop. They could explode or burn.
l
Do not store things children might want
above the cooktop. Children could be
burned or injured while climbing on it.
l
Do not leave children alone or unattended 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.
