SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
■
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinets above a cooktop – Children
climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be
seriously injured.
■ Proper Installation – Be sure your cooktop is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
■ Never Use Your Cooktop for Warming or Heating
the Room.
■ Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not
be left alone or unattended in area where cooktop is
in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the cooktop.
■ Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
cooktop.
■ User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of
the cooktop unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
■ Storage on Cooktop – Flammable materials should
not be stored near surface units.
■ Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.
■ DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS
NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
units may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
or other flammable materials contact surface units
or areas near units until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop
and surfaces facing the cooktop.
■ Use Proper Pan Size – This cooktop 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 will also improve efficiency.
■ Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
■ Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service
without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
■ 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,
the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it
is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
■ Do Not Cook on 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.
For units with ventilating hood –
■
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
■ When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
■ Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area,
be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
For units with coil elements –
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place
– Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.
Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface unit drip bowls, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements -
Heating elements should never be immersed in water.
