wire covers or any other permanent part of the product.
• Storage on Appliance. Flammable materials should not be stored near or on the cook-
ing surface. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware
and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans,
on or near the appliance. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property
damage.
•Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the appliance.
•Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn

Safety
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which touch key pads 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. When flaming
food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with one or more Cooking Zones of dif-
ferent 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.
•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 alu-
minum foil as recommended after 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, earthen-
ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top 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,
FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOKTOP ONLY
• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. Ifcooktop 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 cook-
ing area, be careful to avoid a steam burn, Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if
applied to a hot surface,
•Do Not Place Hot Cookware on Cold Cooktop Glass. This could cause glass to break.
•Do Not Slide Pan Across the Cooktop Surface. They may scratch the cooktop surface.
• Do Not Let Pans Boil Dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage,
fusion, or marking that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not
covered by your warranty).

READ THESE iNSTRUCTiONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP
A COOLER COOKTOP -A unique feature of the Induction Cooktop is whether turned ON
or OFF, the cooktop surface remains cooler than standard ceramic cooktops.
MAGNETIC DETECTOR =The coil sensor automatically detects whether the pan is
magnetic and eliminates accidental "turn-ONs."
PAN SiZE DETECTION - The pan recognition sensor automatically detects and adapts the
Cooking Zones to the pan sizes in use.
EFFICIENT - Induction cooking heats faster while using less energy, induction power levels
are quick to boil and delicate when simmering,

Before Using the Cooktop
USETHE CORRECTCOOKWARETYPE
[] mmm[] mm[] mmmmmmmmmmmm[] []
The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the cooktop surface
require the use of cookware made with magnetic material in order to start the
heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.
When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically identified by the
manufacturer for use with Induction cooktops. If you are not sure, use a
magnet to test whether the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the
bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct for Induction cooking Fig. 1
(See Fig. 1).
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop surface.
This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface.
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop
surface without being lifted up. Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter
the overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the surface difficult
and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.
M NmMUMPANS ZEREQUIREMENTS
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE
-The Cooking Zones available on the
Induction Cooktop require a MINIMUM
pan size to be used at each location. The
inner ring of each Cooking Zone is your
guide to the correct MINIMUM pan size.
The pan bottom must FULLY cover the
inner ring for proper cooking to occur.
The thicker outer ring at each Cooking
Zone is helpful to determine the pan
MAXIMUM size. After centering the
cookware on the cooktop, make sure
the cookware does not extend more
than 1/2" beyond the thicker line on the
Cooking Zone. The pan must make FULL
contact on the glass surface without the
bottom of the pan touching the metal
cooktop trims.
NOTE: If a pan made of the correct
material is centered properly on any of
the active Cooking Zones but is TOO
SMALL, the LEDs around the digital part
of the display will start rotating around
the affected Cooking Zone Display and
the pan will not heat.
