IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or those with long sleeves should never be worn
while cooking.
2. DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKING UTENSILES OR THE IMMEDIATE AREA THAT WAS
UNDER THE COOKING UTENSLE. These areas may be hot. The glass surface heats because it
is in contact with the hot cooking vessel.
3. Use dry potholders only. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam.
Do not use towels or cloths in place of potholders.
4. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Always use utensils
that have flat bottoms. Use utensils that best match the surface unit size (smaller utensils on
smaller surface units) - and are a minimum of 4-inches in diameter.
5. UTENSIL HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER
ADJACENT SURFACE UNITS OR COUNTERS. To reduce the risk of INJURY, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units or counter edges.
6. Never leave the cooktop unattended when heating elements are turned on. Boil over causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may cause injury.
7. Use high heat setting only when necessary, and never when not monitoring the utensil. Use low to
medium settings to heat oil slowly.
8. Hold the handle of the utensil to prevent movement when stirring or turning food.
9. Do not use utensils that do not attract and hold a magnet and never use a steel plate or griddle to
heat a nonmagnetic utensil, which can cause INJURY or DAMAGE to the cooktop elements and
controls.
10. Clean the cooktop with caution. If soil must be removed while the cooktop is hot, clean the hot
top with a plastic spatula and then wipe with a dry cloth. DO NOT USE WET CLOTH OR
SPONGE WHILE THE COOKTOP IS HOT since steam can be generated if the cloth or sponge
is held in place on the hot spot. Some cleaners may produce noxious fumes if applied to hot
surfaces.
CAUTION The cooktop is for cooking. Never use it to warm or heat a room.
Be sure your cooktop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified service installer in
accordance with local codes and the installation instructions provided with the cooktop.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the use
and care instructions. All servicing should be done by a qualified service technician.
