6_ Important safety instructions
INDUCTION COOkTOP ELEMENTS
Be sure you know which touch control operates each surface
heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and
turn the unit off before removing the pan.
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 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 element
will also improve efficiency.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Elements-To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat Settings
- Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan
that has boiled dry may melt.
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be
placed on the Induction Cooktop surface since they can get hot.
When preparing flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the
fan on.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the
cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the glass
cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could
cause burns.
Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and
improper operation of the range.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Do not operate the cooktop when there is no cookware.
