IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important Instructions For Ceramic Glass
Cooktops
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop is
broken, cleaning solutions and spills may
penetrate the cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Exercise caution when cleaning the cooktop. If a
wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
Important Instructions for Using your Cooktop
• Know which knob or keypad controls each surface
cooking zone. Place pan with food on the cooking
zone before turning it on. Turn the cooking zone off
before removing the pan.
• Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped
with induction cooking zones of different sizes.
Select utensils specifically manufactured or
approved for induction cooking. Pans should have
flat bottoms that match the induction cooking zone
size. Using the proper utensil on the cooking zone
will improve efficiency.
• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spills due to unintentional contact
with the cookware, turn utensil handles inward and
do not extend them over other cooking zones.
• Never leave surface cooking zones unattended.
Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy spills
may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be
damaged and may damage the cooktop.
• When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn on the fan.

Important Instructions for Using Your Oven
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the oven when opening the door of a
hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts clear. Touching surfaces in
this area when the oven is on may cause severe
burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or
ignite.
• Placement of oven racks - Always place oven
racks in their desired locations while oven is cool.
If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do
not let potholder contact a hot heating element in
the oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders
contact the hot heating elements in the oven.
Remove all cookware and utensils before moving
the rack.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the
broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and
grease could ignite.
• Protective liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as
suggested in the manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or
fire.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook
in proper cookware and always use the oven
racks.
