A fire could occur during cooking.
▶ Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.
▶ Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be
certain that flammable materials such as window cover-
ings do not blow over or near the burners or heating ele-
ments.
▶ They could catch on fire.
Cooking fires can spread if extinguished incorrectly.
▶ Never use water on cooking fires.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE
FIRE
▶ Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Set-
tings - Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium set-
tings.
▶
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Ju-
bilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
▶ Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
▶ Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate
for the size of the surface element.
▶ Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a
naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood
draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to
deposits on the grease filter!
Flames can be drawn into the ventilation system.
▶ Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation sys-
tem during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
Cookware Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Ex-
tend Over Adjacent Surface Units.
▶ To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable mate-
rials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
cookware, the handle of a cookware should be posi-
tioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend
over adjacent surface units.

such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves, should
never be worn while using the appliance.

Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of different size.
▶ Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface unit heating element.
▶ The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element or burner to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to heating element or burner will also im-
prove efficiency.

ing the control panel.
