

WARNING: FIRE AND/OR BURN HAZARD.

Failure to obey the following warnings could

result in death or serious injury:

• Flammable materials should not be stored near

surface units.

• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat

settings. Boil over causes smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite.

Operation Induction Cooktop

• Use dry potholders only. 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 other bulky cloth.

• To avoid aﬀecting product performance and to

prevent injury, do not heat empty pots. When in

use, do not leave the appliance without supervision

for extended periods. When leaving the appliance

without supervision, make sure that there is enough

water in the pot.

• Use the proper pan size. This appliance is equipped

with one or more surface units of diﬀerent size. Select

utensils having ﬂat bottoms large enough to cover the

surface unit heating element. The use of undersized

utensils will expose a portion of the heating element

to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also

improve eﬃciency.

• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of ﬂammable

materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact

with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be

positioned so that it is turned inward and does not

extend over adjacent surface units.

• Do not heat iron items on the Cooktop to avoid

danger caused by high temperatures.

• To avoid accidents, do not place the Cooktop, when

in use, on a gas stove. (The magnetic lines can heat

the metal parts of the gas stove.)

• To avoid danger, do not place paper, aluminum foil,

cloth, or other unsuitable articles onto the Cooktop

heating plate for indirect heating.

• When using the Cooktop, do not put it on any metal

platform (such as iron, stainless steel, or aluminum),

or place a non-metal pad less than 4.7 in. (12 cm)

thick on the heating plate.

• Unplug the power cord from the outlet aer use

to avoid ﬁre and/or damage to the electrical

components.

• Do not use the Cooktop on carpet, a tablecloth, or

thin paper to avoid blocking the air inlet opening or

air outlet opening, which results in inﬂuencing heat

emission.

• Do not use the Cooktop near a gas stove, kerosene

stove, gas cooker, or other heat source, or in any

space with an open ﬁre or an environment with high

temperatures.



CAUTION: BURN HAZARD. Failure to obey

the following caution could result in minor or

moderate injury.

• Do not touch surface units or areas near units.

Surface units may be hot even though they are dark

in color. Areas near surface units may become hot

enough to cause burns. During and aer use, do not

touch or let clothing or other ﬂammable materials

contact surface units or areas near units until they

have had suﬃcient time to cool.

• Extreme caution must be used when moving an

appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

• Be cautious when opening any lid while cooking.

• Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks,

spoons and lids on the Cooktop since they can get

hot.

• To avoid injuries such as scalding, do not let children

operate the appliance alone.

• When operating the appliance or aer moving the

pot, the cooking area will remain hot for a period of

time. Do not touch it. Be careful of scalding caused

by the high temperature.
