MPORTANTSAFETY NSTRUCT ONS
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] _ [] [] _ [] [] [] [] _ []
Please read all safety instructions before using your new Electrolux cooktop.
[] [] [] 1
*Remove all tape and packaging before using the Cooktop. Destroy the carton and plastic bags
after unpacking the cooktop. Never allow children to play with packaging material. Do not remove the
model/serial plate attached to the cooktop.
Proper Installation=Be sure your appliance is properiy installed and grounded by a qualified
technician in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1mlatest edition in the
United States, or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1, and CAN/CGA B149.2, and the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70•latest edition in United States, or in Canada CSA Standard C22.1,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and local code requirements. Install and/or adjust only per
installation instructions provided in the literature package for this cooktop.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how
to shut off gas supply at the meter and disconnect the electrical power to the cooktop at the circuit
breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.
* User servicing_Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician,
This may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the cooktop.
*Never modify or alter the construction of acooktop by removing panels, wire covers or any
other part of the product.

Safety
•Storage on Appliance=Flammable materials should not be stored on the cooktop or near
surface units. 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 cooktop.
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
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
•DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS/UNIT, GRATES ORAREAS NEARTHESE BURNERS/UNIT.
Surface burners/unit may be hot even though flames are not visible/unit is dark in color. Areas near
surface burners/unit may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.
• Wear Proper Apparel=Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using
the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires=Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda,
a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too
hot.
* Use Only Dry Potholders=Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements, the flame or burners. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
* Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers=Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst
and result in injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
*Know which knob controls each surface burner/surface unit. Place a pan of food on the burner
before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.
* Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that burner
has tit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
. Use proper pan size. This cooktop can be equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
* Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners/
Unit --To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
*Never Leave Surface Burners/Unit Unattended at High Heat Settings--Boitovers cause smoking
and greasy spitlovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Safety
* Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop, use aluminum foil only
to cover food during cooking. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock,
or fire.
*Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate by blowing a downward air flow on to
a range, shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the hood and range
have been designed, tested and listed by an independent test laboratory for use in combination
with each other.
*Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
.Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The Searing Grill is not designed for use on the cooktop.
Doing so may result in a fire.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner/Unit Covers. If a burner/unit is accidentally turned on,
the decorative cover wilt become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner/
unit ison. Burns wilt occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop
or burners/unit because the covers may cause overheating. Air wilt blocked from the burner/unit and
cause combustion problems.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR GLASS COOKTOP
*Do Not Operate or Clean a Broken Cooktop Glass.--If glass top should break, cleaning solutions
and spitlovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact aqualified
technician immediately.
*Clean Cooktop Glass 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.
*Avoid Scratching the Cooktop Glass with Sharp Objects.

Side with groove Flat Side
The griddle is intended for direct food cooking and can be used on both
sides (Figures 2 and 3). Do not use pans or other cookware on the
griddle. Doing so could damage the finish. With the grate in position over
the burner, set the griddle on top of the grate positioning the notches in
the griddle over the grate fingers (Figures 1 and 2).

USINGTHE WOK STAND
[] I [] I [] I [] I I I I I [] [] I [] I I I [] I []
The Wok Stand provided with your cooktop is designed to allow round-bottomed woks to
be used. It is recommended that you use a 14 inch diameter (35.5 cm) or less Wok.
It is recommended that you use the right front POWER burner with the wok stand for best
performance. If properly positioned, the Wok Stand will not slide off the grate.
To Properly Position the Wok Stand:
With the grate in position over the burner, set the Wok Stand on top of the grate positioning
the notches in the Wok Stand over the cooktop grate fingers (See Figure 1).
Flat-bottom woks with large flat bottoms may also be used on
your cooktop Surface Burner Grates without the Wok Stand (See
Figure 2). Insure the stability of the flat-bottom wok before cooking
without the Wok Stand. If unstable, DO NOT use the flat-bottom
wok without the Wok Stand.
Round-bottom woks (with
a support ring) should NOT
be used (See Figure 3). The
supporting ring was not designed
for proper or stable use on the
Surface Burner Grates.
