READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with a utensil, the handle of the utensil should be turned
inward so it does not extend over adjacent surface units.
Use proper pan size - this appliance 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. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to burner also improves efficiency.
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills
and movement of the pan.
Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes
when applied to a hot surface. If a wet sponge or a cloth is used to clean spills on a
hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on
fan or filter.
Do not operate this aplliance if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged.
Contact an authorized servicer.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unlless 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.
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.
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the
cooktop - children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously
injured.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily
accessible near the oven.
Do not repair or replace any part unless specifically recommended in this manual.
All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
To avoid electrical shock hazard, before servicing the cooktop, switch power off at
the service panel and lock the panel to prevent the power from being switched on
accidentally.
