• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the cooktop.
• User Servicing – 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.
• Storage on Cooktop – Flammable materi-
als should not be stored near surface
units.
• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires –
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical
or foam-type extinguisher.
• 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.
• 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 suf-
ficient time to cool. Among those areas are
the cooktop and surfaces facing the cook-
top.
• 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.Proper relationship
of utensil to burner will also improve effi-
ciency.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at
High Heat Settings – Boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ig-
nite.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without break-
ing due to the sudden change in temperat-
ure.
• 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 posi-
tioned so that it is turned inward, and does
not extend over adjacent surface units.
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cook-
top should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-
top and create a risk of electric shock. Con-
tact a qualified technician immediately.
• 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.
• Do not place metal objects such as knives,
forks, spoons and lids on the cooktop sur-
face as they may overheat.
For units with ventilating hood –
• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently –
Grease should not be allowed to accumu-
late on hood or filter.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn
the fan on.
For units with coil elements –
• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls
Are in Place – Absence of these pans or
bowls during cooking may subject wiring
or components underneath to damage.
• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum
foil to line surface unit drip bowls, except
as suggested in the manual. Improper in-
stallation of these liners may result in a
risk of electric shock, or fire. Do Not Soak
Removable Heating Elements - Heating
elements should never be immersed in
water.
