IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning Safety

Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a
hot surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause
burns from steam.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance.
Do not soak removable heating elements - Heating
elements should never be immersed in water.

Cookware Safety

Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the
pan.
Use Proper Pan Size.
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element or burner to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different size. Proper
relationship of cookware to heating element or burner
will also improve efficiency.
Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops
may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only
pans that are appropriate for ceramic cooktops (only
certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable).
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do
not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the
edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires,
spills and burns.

breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
