IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface unit.
• Clean the appliance
regularly
to keep all parts
free
of grease that
could catch fire,
Exhaust fan
ventilation
hoods and grease filters
should
be kept
clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or
filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When
flaming food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood
manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
o Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having fiat 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 efficiency.
• 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.
®
®
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 appliance. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover placed
on the food. Any other use of protective liners or
aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or
fire or short circuit.
®
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 filter.
• Do Not Use Decorative
Surface Element Covers,
If an element is accidentally turned on, the decorative
cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will
occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also
be done to the appliance.
e 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 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 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).
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
