WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed

to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your cooktop unless it is specifi-

cally recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a

qualified technician.

• Before performing any service, disconnect the cooktop power supply at the

household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit

breaker.

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified techni-

cian in accordance with the provided installation instructions. This appliance

must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an

on any part of the appliance.

• Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the cooktop.

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the cooktop.

• CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets

above a cooktop-children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be

seriously injured.

• Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from

your cooktop.

• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance away

from your cooktop. They may become hot and could cause burns.

• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance.

Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface

elements and may cause severe burns.

• Use only dry pot holders - moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result

in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface elements. Do not

use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface

element.

• For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

• Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame foods under the hood, turn

the fan on.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on the

cooktop.

• Do not touch surface elements. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even

though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing

or other flammable materials contact the surface elements or areas nearby the

surface elements; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Potentially hot surfaces

include the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage,

ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface element will also

improve efficiency.

• Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause

smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed contain-

ers are suitable for cooktop cooking; others may break because of the sudden

change in temperature.

• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium-high heat settings.

• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat

can cause spillovers when food is added.

• If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating,

or as fats melt slowly.

• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat

beyond the smoking point.

• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is

cool.

• Do not store flammable materials near the cooktop.

in use.

• Keep cooktop clean and free of accumulation of grease or spillovers which may

ignite.

• Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure buildup may make container

burst and cause injury.

• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or near your cooktop.

before attempting to clean the cooktop.

• Do not operate the glass surface elements if the glass is broken. Spillovers or

cleaning solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical

shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass cooktop

become broken.

• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on

a hot surface element, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can

produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface element areas until

they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the
