Pan Size. This appliance
is
equipped
with
one or more
cooking
zones
of different
sizes. Select
utensils
having
fiat
bottoms
large
enough
to cover
the minimum

zone to operate
without
a pan sufficient
size present.

Be Turned
inward
from
Edges of Cooktop
and Should
Not
Extend

ignition
of flammable
materials,
and
spillage
due to unintentional
contact
with
the
utensil.
* Never
Leave
Surface
Units Unattended
at a
Hi Heat
Settings.
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.

occur
if the hot covers
are touched.
Damage
may
also be done
to the
appliance.
* 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 pans across
the cooktop
