General Precautions, cont.
IMPORTANT
Testing found this cooktop model to be within the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 18 of FCC rules. These limits
are meant to minimize the likelihood of harmful interference to household radio/TV reception from radio-frequency energy, which this
appliance uses, generates, and radiates.
If the cooktop is not installed/operated as specified, harmful interference to household radio/TV reception may occur. Even proper
installation, however, is no guarantee of prevention. If the cooktop interferes with radio/TV reception (turning the cooktop off and on
will determine this), you may be able to correct the interference via any or all of these methods:
• Re-orient/relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the appliance and receiver/antenna.
• Connect the receiver to a different circuit.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Concerning cooktop service/maintenance:
- Before installing/servicing the unit, switch power off at the service panel, then lock the panel to prevent power from being
switched on. If the panel cannot be locked, securely/prominently fasten a warning device (e.g., tag) to the service panel.
- Clean/maintain the cooktop regularly as instructed in the Use and Care manual; a dirty cooktop is a possible fire hazard.
• Concerning cooking practices:
- Use the cooktop only for tasks consistent with a home appliance. This cooktop is not engineered for commercial/industrial use.
- Do not let pans boil dry.
- Do not turn the cooktop ON with empty cookware on a cooking element.
- To prevent steam burns, do not remove cookware from the cooktop with wet potholders, and use extreme caution when adding
water to food in a hot pan.
- To avoid personal injury or appliance damage, use only ferrous (magnetic) cookware.
• Concerning foreign objects on/above/near the cooktop, do not :
- keep items on the cooktop.
- place plastic items on the hot glass surface.
- place or cook with aluminum foil directly on the glass; the foil can melt and mar the glass.
- place objects on/near the cooktop controls to avoid accidentally activating the cook zones.
- keep flammable/explosive vapors and liquids (e.g., paper/plastic/cloth, gas, alcohol, aerosol cans) on or near the cooktop.
- store flammable/explosive materials in adjacent cabinets or areas (incl. above/below the cooktop).
- hang flammable/heat-sensitive objects over the cooktop.
- use window treatments that could blow over the cooktop and create a fire hazard.
CAUTION
• Concerning scratching or otherwise damaging the cooktop surface, do not :
- operate the appliance if the glass is broken or severely pitted. (The cooktop glass resists impact, but foreign objects dropped
with enough force can crack or pit it.) Cleaning solutions and spill-overs may penetrate a broken cooktop, creating an electric-
shock risk. Contact a qualified technician immediately to replace a damaged/pitted cooktop.
- set cookware with sharp-edged bottoms, support legs, or lower corners on the cooktop.
- allow acidic foods/juices (e.g., citrus, pineapple, tomato sauce, wine, cranberry) or foods made with these items, linger on the
cooktop surface (wipe the up immediately); remove cooked-on residue with a razor scraper.
- use a sharp or sharp-edged object (e.g., knife, metal spatula) to clean up spills.
- slide cookware across the cooktop.
- place hot cookware on a cold cooktop.
