• Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from
steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in
place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch
hot cooling areas.
• This appliance is equipped with one or more
surface units of different sizes. Always use
utensils that have fl at bottoms and that are large
enough to cover the whole cooking area. The use
of a utensil smaller than the size of the cooking
area will expose a portion of the heated area to
direct contact with the user which could result in
burns. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will
also improve effi ciency.
• Turn handles of utensils inward so that they do
not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking
areas, or the edge of the cooktop. This will help
prevent hot food spills, risk of burns and ignition of
fl ammable materials.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualifi ed servicer in accordance
with the Installation Instructions provided with the
cooktop.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
unless specifi cally recommended in this manual.
All other servicing should be referred to a qualifi ed
servicer.
• Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for
the type and amount of food being prepared.
• Do not place any hot cookware on the control
panel area.
• This unit is not approved for outdoor use. It is
approved for residential use only.
• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. Use low to medium settings to heat oil
slowly.
• Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until it is cool.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when using
high heat settings. Boil-overs can cause smoke
and possibly damage the cooktop.
• Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement
of the utensil when stirring or turning food.
• Other than the use of metal pans, only certain
types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, ceramic
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable
for cooktop use. These types of utensils may
break with sudden temperature changes. Use only
on low or medium heat settings according to the
utensil manufacturer’s directions.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If the soil must be
removed while the cooktop is hot, clean the hot
top with the metal razor blade scraper only. Do
not use a wet sponge or cloth while it is hot some
cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
• Clean the ventilation system above or behind
the cooktop frequently, so that grease from the
cooking vapors does not accumulate on the fi lters,
fan, intake, or hood.
• To prevent elements from accidentally being
turned on, lock the cooktop when it is not in use
and before cleaning. (See Locking the Cooktop,
Page 5.)
