INSTRUCTIONS
• ONLY certain kinds of glass or
ceramic cookware can be used
for cooktop cooking. Make sure
the cookware you choose to use
is designed for cooktop cooking
without breaking due to the
sudden temperature change.
• ALWAYS USE care when
touching cooking zones.
They will retain heat after the
cooktop has been turned off.
•COOKWARE USED for
cooktop cooking should be flat
on the bottom and large enough
to cover the heating zone being
used. Undersized utensils
expose the heating zone and
may result in direct contact
or ignition of clothing. The
proper-size utensil will also
improve efficiency.
• NEVER LEAVE cooking zones
unattended at high settings.
Boilovers result in smoking
or greasy spills which could
catch fire.
•NEVER cook on a broken
cooktop; cleaning solutions and
spillage could penetrate it and
create the risk of electrical shock
or fire. Contact a qualified
technician for repairs.
•LARGE SCRATCHES OR
IMPACTS to glass cooktops
can lead to broken or shattered
glass.
•ALWAYS TURN utensil handles
inward and away from other
cooking zones to reduce the risk
of burns, ignition, unintended
contact and spillage.
•NEVER use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
•CLEAN ventilating hoods
frequently. Do not allow grease
to accumulate on the hood or
filter.
• WHEN PREPARING flaming
foods under the hood, turn the
ventilation fan on.
•USE extreme caution when
moving a pan of hot fat. Wait
until the fat is cool.
READ AND UNDERSTAND
THIS INFORMATION NOW!
Be sure everyone in your home
knows what to do in case of fire.
Never use water on a grease
fire; it will only spread the
flames.
COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
Never pick up a flaming pan...
1. Turn off the surface elements.
2. Smother the flame with a tightly
fitting lid, use baking soda, or
use a dry chemical, foam or
halon-type extinguisher.
