IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READANDSAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS 9WARNING
When properly cared for, your new
appliance has been designed to be
safe and reliable. Read all
instructions carefully before use.
These precautions will reduce the
risk of burns, electric shock, fire,
and injury to persons. When using
kitchen appliances, basic safety
precautions must be followed,
including those in the following
pages.
Examine the appliance after unpacking it.
In the event of transport damage, do not
plug it in.
Fire Safety
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper
or cloth to come in contact with a hot
surface element, burner or grate. Do not
allow pans to boil dry.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air
vent or fan, be certain that flammable
materials such as window coverings do
not blow over or near the burners or
elements. They could catch on fire.
Always have a working smoke detector
near the kitchen.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when
in use. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may ignite.
9WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
GREASE FIRE:
1. Never leave surface units
unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Heat oils slowly on low or medium
settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when
cooking at high heat or when
flambéing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently.
Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use
cookware appropriate for the size
of the surface element.
In the event that personal clothing or hair
catches fire, drop and roll immediately to
extinguish flames.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher
available, nearby, highly visible and easily
accessible near the appliance.
Smother flames from food fires other than
grease fires with baking soda. Never use
water on cooking fires.

9WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-
fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal
tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS.
If the flames do not go out
immediately, EVACUATE AND
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN
– You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including
wet dishcloths or towels – a
violent steam explosion will result.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
– You know you have a Class ABC
extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.
– The fire is small and contained
in the area where it started.
– The fire department is being
called.
– You can fight the fire with your
back to an exit.
Whenever possible, do not operate the
ventilation system during a cooktop fire.
However, do not reach through fire to turn
it off.
Cooking Safety
9WARNING

intended use as described in this
manual. NEVER use this appliance
as a space heater to heat or warm
the room. Doing so may result in
overheating the appliance. Never use
the appliance for storage.
When using the timer, always supervise
the cooktop and do not allow anything to
boil over or burn. Boilovers can cause
smoke and some foods and oils may
catch fire if left on high temperature
settings.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
9CAUTION
If the temperature sensing system is
not working properly, boilovers may
result causing burns and injury.
WHEN COOKING WITH THE
COOKING SENSOR FUNCTION
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
▯Always put the lid on pots
▯Always fill pots with at least 1¼"
(3cm) of liquid
▯Always use pots of the appropriate
size and type (enamelware pots,
stainless steel and aluminum pots
equipped with wireless
temperature sensor)
▯Always keep the sensor’s window
clean
9WARNING
Risk of injury!
The wireless temperature sensor is
powered by a battery, which may
become damaged if it is exposed to
high temperatures. Remove the
sensor from the cookware and store
it away from any heat sources.
9WARNING
Risk of injury!
The temperature sensor can be very
hot when removing it after cooking.
Use potholders or a dish towel to
remove it.
With use of the cooking functions, make
sure that the burner set matches the
burner where the cookware with
temperature sensor is located.
Never use the appliance if liquids or
foods have spilled around the control
panel. Always turn off the cooktop and
dry the control panel.
Injury and damage to the appliance may
occur if control elements are not used
properly.
If the cooktop turns off automatically and
can no longer be operated, it may turn
itself on unintentionally at a later point.
Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse
box. Contact Customer Support for
service.
Burn Prevention
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 sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and
areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food
containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
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.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at
high heat or when flambéing food (i.e.
Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
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.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc., before
beginning. Tie long hair so that it does
not hang loose, and do not wear loose-
fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling
sleeves.
9WARNING
Risk of burns!
Metallic objects become hot very
quickly on the cooktop. Never set
down metallic objects such as
knives, forks, spoons and lids on the
cooktop.
9WARNING
Risk of burns!
The pan detection shut-off feature
may not turn off the cooking zone
due to spilled food or objects placed
on the cooktop.
If the display does not work when a
cooking area is heating up, disconnect
the circuit breaker or fuse in the electrical
panel. Contact an authorized servicer.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use
the appliance, it is the responsibility of
the parents or legal guardians to ensure
that they are instructed in safe practices
by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean,
sit, or hang on any part of an appliance,
especially a door, warming drawer, or
storage drawer. This can damage the
appliance, and the unit may tip over,
potentially causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this
appliance unless closely supervised by
an adult. Children and pets should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where
the appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether
or not the appliance is in use.
9CAUTION
Items of interest to children should
not be stored in an appliance, in
cabinets above an appliance or on
the backsplash. Children climbing
on an appliance to reach items could
be seriously injured.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning Safety
Do not clean the appliance while it is still
hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet
clothes and sponges can cause burns
from steam.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the
appliance.
Cookware Safety
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring
or turning food. This helps prevent spills
and movement of the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size.
The use of undersized cookware will
expose a portion of the heating element
or burner 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 sizes. Proper relationship of
cookware to heating element or burner
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 induction
cooktops.
Always position handles of utensils
inward so they do not extend over
adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge
of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of
fires, spills and burns.
9WARNING
RISK of injury!
When cooking with a double-boiler,
the cooktop and cooking vessel may
crack due to overheating. The
cooking vessel in the double-boiler
must not come in direct contact with
the bottom of the pot filled with
water. Use only heat-resistant
cookware.
9WARNING
Danger of injury!
Cookware may jump upward due to
fluid trapped between the cookware
bottom and cooking zone. Always
keep cooking zone and cookware
bottom dry.
Proper Installation and Maintenance
Have the installer show you the location
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference.
This appliance must be properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician.
Connect only to properly grounded outlet.
Refer to Installation Instructions for
details.
This appliance is intended for use up to a
maximum height of 13,100 feet
