the provided installation instructions.
■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your

a qualified technician.
■ Before performing any service, unplug the cooktop

be left alone or unattended in an area where the
cooktop is in use. They should never be allowed to
climb, sit or stand on any part of the cooktop.

■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface
units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
■ Never use your cooktop for warming or heating the
room.
■ Do not touch surface elements. These surfaces
may be hot enough to burn even though they are
dark in color. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact
the surface elements or areas nearby the surface
elements; allow sufficient time for cooling first.
■ Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and
areas facing the cooktop.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure
could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.
■ Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least
an internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at
least an internal temperature of 180°F. Cooking
to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the cooktop.
Grease on the cooktop may ignite.
