IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which touch pad 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.
Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select utensils having flat 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
the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward from Edges
of Cooktop and Should 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 at a High 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. Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
appliance.
Important Safety Instructions
FOR GLASS COOKTOP ONLY
• 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 surface. They
may scratch the cooktop surface.
• Do not let pans boil dry. Pans that boil dry may
permanently damage the cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or
marking it. (This type of damage is not covered by your
warranty).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other productive harm, and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
