SAFETY DURING USE
• This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the home. It is not
designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
• Do not use the cooktop to heat the room.
• Take care when plugging in electric appliances near the cooktop. Cords must not
come into contact with the hot surface. This could cause damage to the cooktop and cable
insulation.
• Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise cooking when
preparing foods in fat or oil.
• Switch off the hob element after use by its control and do not reply on the pan
detector.
• Always keep the control panels clean and dry. Do not let liquids or grease remain on the
cooktop controls area. Spilled or burnt-on foods can activate or deactivate the appliance.
Clean the controls area thoroughly to resume normal operation of the appliance.
• Never place combustible items on the cooktop.
• Never keep any combustible items or aerosol cans in a drawer located under the
cooktop.
• Avoid placing metal cooking utensils on the cooking surface areas. Metal objects can
become hot and cause burns.
• Know which touch keypad controls each surface of the cooking zones.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire.
Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease
to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
• Use Proper Pan Sizes. 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 element will also improve efficiency.
• If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed to direct contact
and could ignite clothing or potholder.
• Do not place any object on or near the control keypad area in order to prevent
accidental activation of the cooktop controls.
• 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.
• Never leave prepared food on the Cooking Zones. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or become damaged.
