Power Cord Safety
Cooking Safety
• Items with a magnetic field such as: radios, televisions, credit cards, cassette
tapes etc., can affect the unit.
• The marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating on
the appliance.
• To prevent accidents and achieve optimal ventilation, allow for sufficient space
around the cooking area.
• To reduce risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with cookware, the cookware handles should be turned
inward and not extend over adjacent heating surface.
• Wear proper apparel - loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance.
COOKING SAFETY
• Do not allow aluminum foil, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot element.
• Avoid preparing food in aluminum foil or plastic containers over the hot cooking
zones.
• Protective liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line cooking zone, drip bowls or
oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper use of these liners
may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• Do not allow pans to boil dry or empty.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
• Always use the proper pot and pan size.
• The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the hot element, which
can result in ignition of clothing or personal burners.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use dry pot holders to hold the handles of pots/pans.
• Use only dry potholders - moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating elements.
• Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• Always remove the covers on sealed or canned goods and before heating to
avoid explosion.
• When the unit is on, do not touch outside the control panel as the surface may
contain residual heat. It is important to be aware that the unit’s surface will
remain hot for a short period of time after use.
POWER CORD SAFETY
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, or main body in water or
any other liquid.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surface. A short power supply cord or detachable
power supply cord should be used to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn any control to off, then remove plug from wall outlet.
• The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other services should be referred to a qualified
technician.
• There are no user serviceable parts on this appliance. Only an authorized
service representative should attempt to service your cooktop.
