4 Important Safety Instructions
• Use Only Dry Pot holders. Moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let the pot holders touch hot surface
units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
instead of a pot holder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers.
Buildup of pressure may cause the container to
burst and result in injury.
• Know which touch key pads controls each
surface unit.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fi re. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease fi lters should be kept
clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood
or fi lter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch
fi re. When fl aming food under the hood, turn fan
on. Refer to hood manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning.
• Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select utensils having fl at bottoms large enough
to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the surface
heating unit to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil
to element will also improve effi ciency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Cooking
Zones. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
• Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to
line any part of the cooktop. Only use aluminum
foil as recommended after cooking process, if
used as a cover to be placed over the food. Any
other use of aluminum foil may result in the risk of
electric shock, fi re or short circuit.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
• Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types
of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for range
top service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use.
• Ventilating hood. The ventilating hood above
your cooking surface should be cleaned frequently,
so the grease from cooking vapors does not
accumulate on the hood or fi lter.
• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop.
If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualifi ed
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 a steam burn. Some cleaners
can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
• Do Not Place Hot Cookware on Cold Cooktop
Glass. This could cause glass to break.
• Do Not Slide Pan Across the Cooktop Surface.
They may scratch the cooktop surface.
• Do Not Let Pans Boil Dry. This may cause
permanent damage in the form of breakage,
fusion, or marking that can affect the ceramic-
glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not
covered by your warranty).
