IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to
persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets
above a cooktop – Children climbing on the cooktop to reach items
could be seriously injured.
• Proper Installation – Be sure your cooktop is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician.
• Never Use Your Cooktop for Warming or Heating the Room.
• Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or
unattended in area where cooktop is in use. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop.
• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the cooktop.
• User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the cooktop
unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Storage on Cooktop – Flammable materials should not be stored
near surface units.
• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame or use
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• 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 other bulky cloth.
• 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 after 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. Among those areas are the cooktop and
surfaces facing the cooktop.
• Use Proper Pan Size – This cooktop 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. Proper
relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings –
Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
• Utensil 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 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 Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
• Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
For units with ventilating hood –
• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on hood or filter.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
For units with coil elements –
• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place – Absence of
these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or
components underneath to damage.
• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip
bowls, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
• Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating elements
should never be immersed in water.
