FOR YOUR SAFETY
When using electrical appliances, you should follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
CAUTION
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in
this Owner’s Manual.
• Potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, the cooktop facing, and
areas near the cooktop.
User servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specically recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualied technician.
Always disconnect the power to the appliance before servicing
by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
• Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above
the cooktop surface. Children climbing on the cooktop to
reach items could be seriously injured.
• Do not leave children alone. Never leave children alone or
unattended in an area where this appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Do not use water on grease res. Turn off the cooktop to
avoid spreading the ames. Smother the re or ames or
use a dry chemical, baking soda, or foam-type extinguisher.
• Storage in or on the appliance. Do not store ammable
materials near the surface units. Be sure all packing
materials are removed from the appliance before operating
it. Keep plastics, clothes, and paper away from parts of the
appliance that may become hot.
• Wear proper apparel. Never wear loose-tting or hanging
garments while using the appliance.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electric shock or re.
• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can damage the
cooktop and cause the cooktop to malfunction.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of
the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been
turned off.
• Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with
surface units of different size. Select pots and pans that
have at bottoms large enough to cover the surface area of
the heating element. Using undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may
result in the ignition of clothing. Matching the size of the
pot or pan to the burner will also improve efciency.
• Teach children not to play with the controls or any other
part of the cooktop.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualied technician.
• Avoid scratching or striking the cooktop. Doing so may lead
to glass breakage. Do not cook on a cooktop with broken
glass. Shock, re, or cuts may occur.
• For your safety, do not use high-pressure water cleaners or
steam jet cleaners to clean any part of the cooktop.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualied
persons to avoid creating a hazard.
• The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Do not lean on the cooktop as you may turn the control
knobs inadvertently.

on the glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may
become hot and could cause burns.

will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.
• Cookware Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk
of burns, ignition of ammable materials, or spillage due
to unintentional contact with cookware, position cookware
handles so that they are turned inward and do not extend
over adjacent surface units.
• Glazed cookware. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware can be
used for rangetop service without breaking due to sudden
changes in temperature.
• Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high
heat settings.
• To avoid oil spillover and re, use a minimum amount of oil
when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods
that have excessive amounts of ice.
• Do not operate the cooktop without cookware. If the
cooktop operates without cookware, the control knobs will
become hot.
