CAUTION
• Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above a cooktop or on the back of a
cooktop--children climbing on the cooktop to
reach items could be seriously injured.
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
1. 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. Use of oversized utensils
concentrates heat on cooking surface and can
cause damage to cooktop. Proper relationship of
utensil to burner improves efficiency.
2. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High
Heat Settings--Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
3. Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of
glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to sudden change in temperature.
4. Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extended 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 positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.
5. Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersed in
water.
GLASS/CERAlVIIC
COOKING SURFACES
1. Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop--lf cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
2. 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 noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.

1. Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or
filter.
2. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan
on.
