IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each sur-
face heating area. Place the cookware con-
taining food on the cooking area before
turning it on. Turn the cooking area off
before removing the cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface ele-
ments. — To reduce the risk of burns, igni-
tion of flammable materials and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the uten-
sil, the handle of the cookware should be
positioned so that it is turned inward and
does not extend over other cooking areas.
Use proper pan size — This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of
different sizes. Select cookware with flat
bottoms that match the surface unit size.
Using the proper cookware on the cooking
area will improve efficiency.
Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain
types of cookware are suitable for cooktop
service and must be magnetic in order to
work properly on the induction zones.
Check the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions for cooktop use to ensure that the
cookware is compatible with induction
cooking.
Improper cookware may break due to sud-
den changes in temperature. Check the
cookware manufacturer's recommenda-
tions for cooktop use.
Do not place metallic objects such as
knives, forks, spoons and lids on the cook-
top surface since they can become hot.
Never leave surface elements unattended.
Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite. A pan that has boiled
dry could be damaged and may damage
the cooktop
When you are flaming foods under a venti-
lating hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
WARNING
Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cook-
top. If cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified techni-
cian immediately.
Clean cooktop glass with caution. 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 harmful
fumes if applied to a hot surface. Avoid
scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
