Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
Protective liners. Do not use aluminium foil to line surface unit drip bowls, except as sugge-
sted in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock,
or fire.
Glazed cooking utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glaze utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden chan-
ge in temperature.
Utensils 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.
Do not touch surface units or areas near units. Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in colour. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or
areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance
may become hot enough to cause burns. Among these areas and surfaces are the cooktop and
surfaces facing the cooktop.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst result
in injury.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter
(when a cooking hood is installed with appliance).
In case of fire, if the hood is functioning TURN IT OFF. The fan, if operating, may spread the
flame.
