DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS. Heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other fl ammable
materials contact heating elements until they have had
suffi cient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns.
Do not use the cooktop as a storage area for food or
cooking utensils.
Cooking Safety
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause burns
from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should never
be used as potholders because they can trail across hot
elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
Wear proper apparel. Loose fi tting or long hanging-sleeved
apparel should not be worn while cooking. Clothing may
ignite and cause burns if garment comes in contact with
heating elements.
NEVER heat unopened containers on the surface unit.
Pressure building up in the container may cause the
container to burst resulting in burns, injury or damage to
the appliance.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food
manufacturer's instructions. If a plastic frozen food
container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food
and its container. The food could be contaminated.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.
Utensil Safety
This appliance has been tested for safe performance
using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or
accessories that are not specifi cally recommended in this
guide or the installation instructions. The use of devices
or accessories that are not expressly recommended
in this guide can create serious safety hazards, result
in performance problems, and reduce the life of the
components of the appliance.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will
be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or
potholder.
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 the temperature. Follow utensil manufacturer's
instructions when using glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into the
room or over another surface element. This reduces the
risk of burns, ignition of fl ammable materials, or spillage if
pan is accidently bumped or reached by small children.
Cooktop Safety
NEVER leave surface units unattended, especially when
using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause
smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fi re.
This appliance is equipped with different sized surface
elements. Select pans with fl at bottoms large enough to
Save These Instructions for Future Reference
cover element. Fitting pan size to element will improve
cooking effi ciency.
GLASS-CERAMIC COOKTOP: NEVER cook on 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 qualifi ed technician
immediately.
Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet sponge,
cloth, or paper towel is used on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burn.
Never stand on the cooktop.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or
disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before
attempting to move pan.
Heating Elements
NEVER touch surface elements or areas near elements.
Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Areas near surface elements may become hot enough
to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other
fl ammable materials contact heating elements or areas near
elements until they have had suffi cient time to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and
areas facing the cooktop.
Ventilating Hoods
Clean range hood and fi lters frequently to prevent grease
or other fl ammable materials from accumulating on hood or
fi lter and to avoid grease fi res.
When fl aming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Cleaning Safety
Clean cooktop with caution. Turn off all controls and wait
for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning. Use
care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used
to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
Important Safety Notice
and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never
keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes
from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive
respiratory system. Fumes released due to overheated
cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick
cookware may be equally harmful.
