WARNING
:
Clean the cooktop with caution. A wet sponge or cloth used to wipe
spills on a hot cooking surface can result in steam burns and may damage the surface of
the cooktop. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
12. Be sure all controls are turned off and the cooktop is cool before using aerosol cleaners.
The chemicals used in aerosol sprays may be flammable.
13. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on the unit.
14. Never leave the unit unattended while cooking. Very hot oils can cause fire.
15. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother the
flames or use a dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.
16. Always heat fat slowly, watching as it heats.
17. If high settings are used, remain near the unit to monitor for flammable splattering grease
and boil over.

WARNING
:
Glazed Cooking Utensils- Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
19.
WARNING
: Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extended 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.
20. Use the proper pan size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the element to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to
burner will also improve efficiency.
21. Before removing pots and pans, be sure to turn the element off.
22.
WARNING
: Do Not Cook on A Broken Cooktop. If the cook-top should break,
cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
23. Keep any venting filters clean to avoid grease fires and maintain good venting.
24. Do not store or use gasoline, kerosene or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this appliance.
25.
IMPORTANT
: Verify that meat and poultry has been cooked to an internal
temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit for meat and 180 degrees Fahrenheit for poultry to
protect against food borne illnesses.
26. Avoid scratching your ceramic glass. Rings, other jewelry and sharp metal objects may
scratch your cooktop.
