State of California proposition 65 warning (US only)
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
For your safety
When using electrical appliances, you should follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
CAUTION
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
• Potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, the cooktop facing, and areas near the
cooktop.
User servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to
a qualified technician.
• Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the cooktop surface.
Children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Do not leave children alone. Never leave children alone or unattended in an
area where this appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Turn off the cooktop to avoid spreading the
flames. Smother the fire or flames or use a dry chemical, baking soda, or foam-
type extinguisher.
• Storage in or on the appliance. Do not store flammable materials near the
surface units. Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance
before operating it. Keep plastics, clothes, and paper away from parts of the
appliance that may become hot.
• Wear proper apparel. Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using
the appliance.
• Use only dry potholders. Placing moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the cooktop.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

Important safety instruction
Important safety instruction
Avoid scratching or striking the cooktop. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do
not cook on a cooktop with broken glass. Shock, fire, or cuts may occur.
• For your safety, do not use high-pressure water cleaners or steam jet cleaners
to clean any part of the cooktop.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid creating a hazard.
• The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Do not lean on the cooktop as you may turn the control knobs inadvertently.
Surface cooking units
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or
oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can damage the cooktop and cause
the cooktop to malfunction.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on
the cooking surface since they can get hot.
• After use, switch off the cooking surface by its control and do not rely on the
pan detector.
• CAUTION: The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking
process has to be supervised continuously.
• WARNING: Unattended cooking on the cooking surface with fat or oil can be
dangerous and may result in a fire.

Important safety instruction
• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain
heat after the controls have been turned off.
• Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different
size. Select pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface area of the heating element. Using undersized cookware will expose a
portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in the ignition
of clothing. Matching the size of the pot or pan to the burner will also improve
efficiency.
• Cookware Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage due to unintentional contact with cookware, position cookware handles
so that they are turned inward and do not extend over adjacent surface units.
• Glazed cookware. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed cookware can be used for rangetop service
without breaking due to sudden changes in temperature.
• Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-
frying and avoid cooking frozen foods that have excessive amounts of ice.
• Do not operate the cooktop without cookware. If the cooktop operates without
cookware, the control knobs will become hot.
• Do not move the container and bowl in a horizontal position on cooktop surface.
• Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the glass cooktop
surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
• Cleaning. Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream
labels.
• Be sure you know which control knob operates each surface unit. Make sure you
have turned on the correct surface unit.
• When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface that could fall and damage
it.
• Do not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers – If an element is accidentally
turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will
occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage and void the warranty.
• Flush - mounted appliances may be operated only after they have been
installed in cabinets and workplaces that conform to the relevant standards.
This ensures that the appliances are installed in compliance with the appropriate
safety standards.
• If your appliance malfunctions or if fractures, cracks, or splits appear:
- switch off all cooking zones

Important safety instruction
Ventilating hood
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Do not let grease accumulate on the hood or
filter.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Glass/ceramic cooking surfaces
• 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 the surface units or
areas near the units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these
areas are the cook-top and the facing of the cooktop.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk
of electric shock. If your cooktop breaks, contact an authorized Dacor service
center immediately.
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
