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 in cabinets above the cooktop that are of interest to children. Children
climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
1. Be sure your cooktop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
2. 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.
3. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments SHOULD NEVER be worn while using the cooktop.
4. Flammable materials SHOULD NOT be stored near surface units.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. DO NOT use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8. NEVER leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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. 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 burner will also improve efficiency.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. NEVER use your cooktop for warming or heating the room.
15. 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. Extreme caution
SHOULD be exercised when using cookware or bakeware constructed of anything other than ovenproof metal
or glass. DO NOT place any of the following materials in the oven: cardboard, plastic, paper, or anything similar.
