IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Avoid reaching or leaning over the appliance. Be aware
that certain clothing and hair sprays may contain
flammable chemicals that could be ignited if brought in
to contact with hot surface units or heating elements and
may cause severe burns.

Electromagnetic Interference

WARNING
This induction cooktop generates and uses ISM
frequency energy that heats cookware by using an
electromagnetic field. It has been tested and complies
with Part 18 of the FCC Rules for ISM equipment. This
induction cooktop meets the FCC requirements to
minimize interference with other devices in residential
installation. Induction cooktops may cause interference
with television or radio reception. If interference occurs,
the user should try to correct the interference by:
Relocating the receiving antenna of the radio or
▯
television.
Increasing the distance between the cooktop and the
▯
receiver.
Connecting the receiver into an outlet different than the
▯
receiver.
It is the user's responsibility to correct any interference.
CAUTION
Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device
should exercise caution when standing near an induction
cooktop while it is in use. Consult your doctor or the
manufacturer of the pacemaker or similar medical device
for additional information about its effects with
electromagnetic fields from an induction cooktop.
WARNING
HAZARD DUE TO MAGNETISM
The probe is magnetic. The magnetic elements can
damage electronic implants such as pacemakers or
insulin pumps. People with electronic implants should
therefore not put the temperature sensor in the pockets
of their clothes and should maintain a minimum distance
of 4 inches (10 cm) with respect to their pacemaker or
similar medical device.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the appliance,
it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to
ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by
qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on
any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming
drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the
appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing
severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely
supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.

Cleaning Safety

WARNING
RISK OF BURNS
The appliance will become very hot on the outside
;
during the cleaning function. Never touch the appliance
door. Allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children
away from the appliance.
Notes
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
▯
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a
hot surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns
from steam.
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and
▯
will not open. If the door does not lock, do not run Self
Clean. Contact service.
Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep
▯
pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where
kitchen fumes could reach them. During Self Clean,
fumes are released that may be harmful to birds.
Other kitchen fumes such as overheating margarines
and cooking oils may also be harmful.
Keep oven free from grease build up.

Cookware Safety

Notes
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
▯
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using
▯
cooking or roasting bags.
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning
▯
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the
pan.
Use proper pan size.
▯
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element or burner to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different size. Proper relationship
of cookware to heating element or burner will also
improve efficiency.
