IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Storage on Cooktop – Flammable materials should
not be stored near surface units.
• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire
or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
• Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS
NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
units may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact surface units or
areas near units until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and
surfaces facing the cooktop.
• Use Proper Pan Size – This cooktop is equipped with
one or more surface units of different size. 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 burner will also
improve efficiency.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
• CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinets above a cooktop – Children
climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be
seriously injured.
• Proper Installation – Be sure your cooktop is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
• Never Use Your Cooktop for Warming or Heating
the Room.
• Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should
not be left alone or unattended in area where
cooktop is in use. They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the cooktop.
