Unattended cooking on a cooktop with fat or oil can be
dangerous and may result in a fire.
▶Do not leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should
ignite, keep door closed.
▶Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the
circuit breaker box.
A fire could occur during cooking.
▶Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.
▶Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil.
▶Doing so blocks air flow through the oven.
▶Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be
certain that flammable materials such as window
coverings do not blow over or near the burners or heating
elements. They could catch on fire.
Cooking fires can spread if extinguished incorrectly.
▶Never use water on cooking fires.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE
▶Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High
Settings - Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
▶Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
▶Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
▶Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate
for the size of the surface element.
Flames can be drawn into the ventilation system.
▶Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
Cookware Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units.
▶To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with
the cookware, the handle of a cookware should be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface units.
Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments,
such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves, should
never be worn while using the appliance.
▶Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose.
▶Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning.
Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes.
▶Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface unit cooking zone.
▶The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the cooking zone to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to
cooking zone will also improve efficiency.
Boilovers can cause smoke and some foods and oils may
catch fire if left on high temperature settings.
▶When using a timer, always supervise the cooktop.
▶Do not allow anything to boil over or burn.
If the cooktop turns off automatically and can no longer be
operated, it may turn itself on unintentionally at a later
point.
▶Switch off the circuit breaker or fuse in the electrical
panel.
▶Contact Customer Service for support.
CAUTION
The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term
cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
WARNING
If the display does not work when a cooking area is
heating up disconnect the circuit breaker or fuse in the
electrical panel.
▶Contact an authorized service provider.
To avoid risk of fire do not store items on the cooking
surfaces.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires.
▶Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
CAUTION
The oven vents are important for air circulation. Covering
the oven vents will cause the oven to overheat. Refer to
the appliance overview for the location of the oven vents.
