Important Safety Instructions
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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,
potholders or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units
until they have had sufficent time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and
areas facing the cooktop.
Always use 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.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
_ ARNING: Never leave the cooktop unattended, especially at high
temperature settings. Keep an eye on the cooktop and do not allow
anything to boil over or burn. Boilovers can cause smoke and some foods
and oils may catch on fire if left on high temperature settings.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause
the container to burst and cause injury.
Always keep the cooktop and bases of pots dry. Liquid between the pot base and
the cooktop may build up steam pressure, causing the pot to jump suddenly and
causing injury.
Never operate the cooktop with spillover or liquid around the control area. Always
switch off the cooktop and dry the control area.
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bubbling and
splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low medium setting. Hot oil is capable
of causing extreme burns and injury.
_ ARNING: If AutoChef TM is not working properly, overheat may resultcausing smoke and damage to the pan.
WHEN COOKING WITH AUTOCHEF TM OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
÷ Use the system pan only
÷ Always put the pan in the centre of the heating element
÷ Do not place a lid on the pan
÷ Never leave frying fat unattended
Cookware Safety Use proper pan size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Select
cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit. This
appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Proper
relationship of cookware to heating element will also improve efficiency.
Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops may break with sudden
temperature changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for ceramic cooktops
(only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable).

Important Safety Instructions
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills
and movement of the pan.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work
areas or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.
