SAFETY DURING USE
• This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the home. It is not
designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
• Do not use the cooktop to heat the room.
• Take care when plugging in electric appliances near the cooktop. Cords must not
come into contact with the hot surface. This could cause damage to the cooktop and cable
insulation.
• Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise cooking when
preparing foods in fat or oil.
• Switch off the hob element after use by its control and do not reply on the pan
detector.
• Always keep the control panels clean and dry. Do not let liquids or grease remain on the
cooktop controls area. Spilled or burnt-on foods can activate or deactivate the appliance.
Clean the controls area thoroughly to resume normal operation of the appliance.
• Never place combustible items on the cooktop.
• Never keep any combustible items or aerosol cans in a drawer located under the
cooktop.
• Avoid placing metal cooking utensils on the cooking surface areas. Metal objects can
become hot and cause burns.
• Know which touch keypad controls each surface of the cooking zones.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire.
Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease
to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
• Use Proper Pan Sizes. 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 ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil
to element will also improve efficiency.
• If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed to direct contact
and could ignite clothing or potholder.
• Do not place any object on or near the control keypad area in order to prevent
accidental activation of the cooktop controls.
• 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.
• Never leave prepared food on the Cooking Zones. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or become damaged.

SAFETY DURING USE (cont.)
• Protective liners: Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended after the cooking process, if used as a cover to be placed
over the food. Any other use of aluminum foil may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or
short circuit.
• Glazed cooking utensils: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use.
• Ventilating hood: The ventilating hood above your cooking surface should be
cleaned frequently, so the grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the
hood or filter.
• Do not clean or operate a 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.
• Do not place hot cookware on cold cooktop glass. This could cause glass to break.
• Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface. They may scratch the cooktop surface.
• Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage,
fusion, or marking that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not
covered by your warranty.)
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilover causes smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet. NEVER pick up or move a flaming
pan.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking soda a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher to smother fire or flame.

SAFETY WHEN CLEANING
• Always switch off the appliance before cleaning.
• For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high-pressure
washer.
• Clean the cooktop in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning instructions in
this manual.
• Steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning of the cooktop.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or rough metal scrapers to clean the cooktop
glass/ceramic since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass/ceramic.
• Clean Cooktop with Caution. Do not use sponges or cloths to wipe spills on a HOT
cooking area. Use a proper metal scraper.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and
poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures
usually protects against foodborne illness.
HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE
• Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning
creme to the glass/ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make
cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a
protective finish on the glass/ceramic to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
• Do NOT use the glass/ceramic cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Please be careful at the edges when moving pots and pans.
• Do not operate the cooking zones with empty pots or pans.
• Do not turn on the cooking zones with no pots or pans on the element.
• Glass/ceramic is very tough, and impervious to sharp temperature changes but is not
unbreakable. It can be damaged if hard or sharp objects fall on it.
• Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron, or other pots with rough edges or burrs.
Moving these can cause scratches on glass/ceramic.
• If sugar or a mixture containing sugar (chocolate) falls onto a hot cooking zone and melts,
remove the spill immediately while still hot with a proper metal scraper. If the spill is left to
cool down, it may damage the glass/ceramic surface.
• Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface.
• Keep meltable objects or materials away from the ceramic glass surface, for example,
plastic utensils, aluminum foil, or cooking wraps. If any materials or foodstuffs melt on the
ceramic-glass surface, these should be cleaned up immediately.
NOTE: There is a risk of burning yourself when the glass scraper is used on a hot
cooking zone!

SELECTING COOKWARE
POTS AND PANS
The better the pot, the better the cooking results.
• You can recognize good pots and pans by their
bases. The base should be as thick and flat as
possible.
• Pots with aluminum or copper bases can cause
metallic discoloring on the ceramic glass surface which is very difficult or impossible to
remove.
• Be very careful when using cast iron pots or pots with damaged bases which are rough and or
have burrs on them. Scratches can occur if they are slid across the surface.
• When cold, pot bases are normally bowed slightly in wards(concave). They should never be
bowed outwards(convex).
• If you wish to use a special type of pan (e.g., a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok), please
follow the manufacturer’s instructions and do not use a very thin pan.
USE FLAT-BOTTOMED COOKWARE
Cookware bases must fully contact the surface of the glass/ceramic
heating area. Use flat-bottomed pans of the correct size to fit the cooking
area and the amount of food being prepared. Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. In the middle of the
ruler a small amount of light must be visible (the cookware bottom must be slightly concave at
Room Temperature)

SELECTING COOKWARE (cont.)
AVOIDING SCRATCHES
It is recommended to always use heavier gauge stainless steel cookware on your ceramic
cooktop surface. This will help reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic
surface. Low-quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface.
Cookware should always be lifted over the ceramic cooktop surface to prevent scratching.
Sliding any type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop can affect the overall appearance of the
cooktop. Over time, sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop may alter the
overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually, the buildup of scratches can make cleaning the
surface difficult and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.
Scratches can also result from grains of sand (e.g., after washing vegetables) which are
dragged with the pot across the cooking surface.
FOR BEST RESULTS:
Always follow the recommendations for proper cookware type and size. In addition:
• Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are easy to clean after
cooking, and make sure that the bottoms of the pans are clean and dry.
• When cooking with large amounts of liquid, use large pots so that nothing can boil over.
• Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion,
or marring that can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your
warranty.)
• Match the pan size and Cooking Zone to the amount of food being prepared.
TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY:
• Always position pots and pans before you switch on the Cooking Zone.
• Dirty cooking zones and cookware use more electricity.
• Whenever possible, always have the lid firmly placed
on the pots and pans so that they are completely
covered.
• Switch off the cooking zones before the end of the
cooking time to use the residual heat for keeping food
warm or for melting purpose.
• The base of the pot should have the same size as the
cooking zone.
• Using a pressure cooker shortens the cooking times
by up to 50%.
