WARNING !
General
1. The cooktop must be installed and/or repaired by
an authorized installer or servicer.
2. Never use the cooktop for warming or heating the
room.
3. Do not store items on the cooktop. Items stored on
the cooktop can become too hot and melt.
4. Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using
cooktop.
5. Do not repair or replace any part of the cooktop
yourself unless it is recommended in this manual.
6. Flammable materials should not be stored near
cooktop.
7. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Do not let a potholder touch an element. Do not
use a towel or a bulky cloth as a potholder.
Surface Cooking
1. Use the proper pan size. Select utensils with flat
bottoms large enough to cover the element.
Undersized utensils will expose the element to
direct contact with clothing.
2. Never leave surface units unattended. Boilovers
can cause smoking and may ignite.
3. To reduce risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials or spillage due to unintentional contact,
utensil handles must be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface.
4. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop use. Unsuitable utensils may
break due to the sudden temperature change.
5. Clean cooktop with caution. To avoid steam burns,
do not use a wet sponge or cloth to wipe up spills
on a hot cooking area.
6. Do not place aluminum foil or foods packaged in
aluminum foil directly on element.
WARNING !
Safety Procedures
Due to the nature of cooking, fires can occur as a
result of overcooking or excessive grease. Use the
following procedures to extinguish a fire in the
unlikely event one occurs.
Surface Element Fires
1. Do not turn on the vent hood. The fan can spread
the flames.
2. If it is safe to do so, turn the surface element to
OFF. Turn off main electrical supply.
3. Smother the fire with nonflammable lid or use a
Class “ABC” or “BC” fire extinguisher. Do not use
water on a grease fire.
