• This appliance may only be used for normal
cooking and frying in the home. It is not
designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
• Do not use the cooktop to heat the room.
• Take care when plugging in electric
appliances near the cooktop. Cords must not
come into contact with the hot surface. This
could cause damage to the cooktop and cable
insulation.
• Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly.
You should supervise cooking when preparing
foods in fat or oil.
• After use, switch off the hob element by its
control and do not rely on the pan detector.
• Always keep the control panels clean and
dry. Do not let liquids or grease remain on the
cooktop controls area. Spilled or burnt-on foods
can activate or deactivate the appliance. Clean
the controls area thoroughly to resume normal
operation of the appliance.
• Never place combustible items on the
cooktop.
• Never keep any combustible items or
aerosol cans in a drawer located under
the cooktop.
• Avoid placing metal cooking utensils on
the cooking surface areas. Metal objects
can become hot and cause burns.
• Know which touch keypad controls each
surface of the cooking zones.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all
parts free of grease that could catch fire.
Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters
should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to
accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits
in the fan could catch fire. Refer to hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
• Use proper pan size. This appliance is
equipped with one or more Cooking Zones
of different sizes.
• Select utensils having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the Cooking Zones. The
pan detection sensors will not allow the
affected cooking zones to operate without
a pan present.
• Do not place any object on or near the
control keypad area in order to prevent
accidental activation of the cooktop
controls.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward
and should not extend over adjacent
cooking zones to reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil.
• Never leave prepared food on the Cooking
Zones. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has
boiled dry may melt or become damaged.
• Protective liners: Do not use aluminum foil
to line any part of the cooktop. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended after the
cooking process, if used as a cover to be
placed over the food. Any other use of
aluminum foil may result in the risk of electric
shock, fire or short circuit.
• Glazed cooking utensils: Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for rangetop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Check the manufacturer
’ s
recommendations for cooktop use.
• Ventilating hood: The ventilating hood
above your cooking surface should be
cleaned frequently, so the grease from
cooking vapors does not accumulate
on the hood or filter.
• Do not clean or operate 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
qualified technician immediately.
• Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some
cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied
to a hot surface.
