could cause hums.
Before performing any service,
disconnect dm cooktop power supply
at the household distribution panel by
removing the fltse or switching off the
citvuit breaken
Ne_er wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance.
Flammable mamrial could be ignimd if
brought ira contact wifla hot smt_ace units
and may cause sexere bums.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
Haze the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fltse. Mark it for easy
reference.
Do not leme children alone--children
should not be left alone or unattended
ira an area where an appliance is ira use.
They should nexer be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the appliance.
Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the cooktop.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the cooktop.
CAUTION:Items ofinterestto
children should not be stored ira cabinets
aboxe a cooktoi>--children climbing on the
cooktop to reach items could be seriously
injured.
Always kee I) combustible wall coxefings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
yonr cooktop.
Use only dUpot holders--moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from smam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch
fire on a hot sni_tce unit.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off: Smother a flaming pan on a surtZace
unit by covering the pan completely with a
well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or fiat m_y. Use
a multi-purpose di T chemical or foam-type
extinguishen
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by co\_fing with baking soda or;
if available, by using a multi-purpose dU
chemical or foam-type rite extinguisher
When preparing flaming foods under the

AWARNING!
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Do not touch glass ceramic surface m_its
while cooking. This surface may be hot
enongh to hlllrl even though it may appear
dark in color During and after use, do *lot
much, or let cloflting or oflmr flammable
mamrials contact file cooking surPace. Nora
tile hot indicator lights and allow sufficient
time for cooling first.
Hot surfaces may include both rite cooktop
and areas Pacing tile cooktop.
To minimize fire possihili U of burns,
ignition of flammable mamrials and
spillage, the handle of a container should
be turned toward file center of tile
cooktop without exmnding ox>r any
nearhv surface units.
Always tun_ off tile suifi_ce unit control
before removing the cookware.
Use proper pan size--select cookware
having fiat bottoms larg_ enough to co\_r
the sur/_ace unit heating element. The use
of undersized cookware will expose a
portion of the suiiCace unit to direct
contact and may resuh in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of cookware
m surPace unit will also improxe efficiency.
Never lem> suiJ_ace units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilo_ers may cause
smoking and greasy spillox>rs m W ignite.
(;lass and ceramic cookware is not
recommended for use with your radiant
ceramic glass cooktop.
Kee I) an eye on foods being fried at high
or medimn-high heat settings.
Foods for fiTing should be as &T as
possible. Frost on fiozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fiat to bubble
up and ox>r tile sides of the pan.
Avoid placing aW objects on or near dte
keypads in order to prevent accidental
activation of the cooktop controls.
Use little/_at for effective shallow or
deeI>fat flTing. Filling file pan too flfll of
fi_tcan cause spillovers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in fEving, stir mg>ther before heating, or as
t:ats meh slowly.
_Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use a deep-/_at fllennomemr whenex_r
possible to prevent oveflteafing fat beyond
the smoking point.
Never uw,to move a pan of hot/_at,
especially a deep-fat fiTen X_'ait until the fat
is cool.
Do not store flammable mamfials near
the cooktop.
Kee I) dm hood and grease filmrs clean to
maintain g_od x>nfing and to ax_id grease
fires.
Do not store or use combustible mamrials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the viciniw of this or any
appliance.
Clean only parts lismd in this Owner's
Manual.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food on the cooktop when not
ill use,
Kee I) cooktop clean and free of
accumulation of grease or spilloxers
which may ignite.
Never heat unopened food containers.
Pressure buildup may make container
burst and cause injm T.
Ne_>r leave jars or cans of/_at drippings

CAU_O_
Safe canning requires that harmful
microorganisms are destroyed and that
thejars are sealed completely. When
canning foods in a water-bath canner,
a gentle but steady boil mustbe
maintained for the required time. When
canning foods in a pressure canner, the
pressure must be maintained for the
required time.
After you have adjusted the controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.
Since you mustmake sure to process
the canningjars for the prescribed
time, with no interruption in processing
time,do not can on any cooktop
surface unit ff your canner isnot flat.
