IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Overheated materials can cause fire or burns.
▶ Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to
come in contact with a hot surface element, heating el-
ement or grate.
▶ Do not allow pans to boil dry.
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 ig-
nite, 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 alu-
minum 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 cover-
ings do not blow over or near the burners or heating ele-
ments. 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 Set-
tings - Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium set-
tings.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
▶
when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Ju-
bilee, 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 sys-
tem during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
Cookware Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Ex-
tend Over Adjacent Surface Units.
▶ To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable mate-
rials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
cookware, the handle of a cookware should be posi-
tioned 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 heat-
ing up disconnect the circuit breaker or fuse in the electri-
cal panel.
▶ Contact an authorized service provider.
To avoid risk of fire do not store items on the cooking sur-
faces.
