IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING
Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or

high heat settings . Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire .
Never leave oil unattended while frying . If allowed

to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite,
resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding
cabinets . Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature .
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of

oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen
foods with excessive amounts of ice .
Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat

bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating
element . The use of undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing . Proper relationship of
cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency .
WARNING
Use care when touching the cooktop . The glass surface

of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have
been turned off .
Do not cook on a broken cooktop . If glass cooktop

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock . Contact a qualified technician
immediately .
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop . The cooktop can be

scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments,
rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing .
Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire

on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used . If
the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite .
Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it is turned off
may cause them to ignite also .
WARNING
Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units .

Do not put them in a dishwasher . Do not self-clean the
surface units in an oven . Doing so may cause them to
fail, presenting a burn or fire hazard .
To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always

be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the
OFF position and all coils are cool before attempting to lift
or remove a coil surface unit .

RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(some models)
COIL COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(some models)
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware

or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop
service; others may break because of the sudden
change in temperature .
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby surface units .
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the

fan on .
Use CERAMA BRYTE
®

CERAMA BRYTE Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop .
®
Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light
goes out before cleaning . A wet sponge or cloth on a
hot surface can cause steam burns . Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface .
NOTE: Sugar spills are an exception . They should be
scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and a
scraper . See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section for
detailed instructions .
Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the
cleaning cream label .
Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in place .

Their absence during cooking could damage range
parts and wiring .
Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans . Foil can trap

heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a
shock or fire hazard .
