1. Read All Instructions.
2. To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching
over the heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the surface units should be
avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the
risk can be reduced by installing a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches
(127 mm) beyond the bottom of cabinets.
3. Important instructions
a) Ensure that this appliance is properly
connected and grounded by a qualified
electrician.
b) Never use this appliance for warming or
heating the room.
c) Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children
should not be left alone or unattended in area
where appliances are in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.
d) Wear Proper Apparel – Loose fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance.
e) User Servicing – Do not repair or replace
any part of the appliance unless specifically
recomended in the manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
f) Storage in or on Appliance – Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven or
near surface units.
g) Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother
fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
h) Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp
potholders on hot surface may result in burns
from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot
heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth.
4. a) Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of
different size. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit heating element. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in
burned clothing. Proper relationship of utensil
to burner will also improve efficiency.
b) Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at
High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
c) Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types
of glass, glass / ceramic, ceramic, earth-
enware or other glazed utensils are suitable
for rangetop service without breaking due to
the sudden change in temperature.
d) Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units –
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the
handle of a utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend
over adjacent surface units.
5. a) Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop
and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
b) Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
6. CAUTION:
Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above a range. Children climbing on
the appliance to reach items could be seriosly
injured.
