while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot surface unit and may
cause severe burns.

● 

Use only dry pot holders—moist or

damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. 

Do not let

pot holders touch hot surface unit. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.

Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface unit.

● 

For 

your safety, never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

Do not store flammable materials near the

cooktop.

Keep the hood and grease filters 

 to

maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

● 

Do not 

 or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and 

in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

● 

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate   the cooktop.

 Do not 

 water on grease fires. Never

pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on surface

unit by covering the pan 

 with a 

fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering it with baking soda or, if available, by

using multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.

● 

Clean the cooktop with caution. If a 

 sponge

or cloth is used to wipe spills   a hot surface unit,

be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
When the cooktop is cool, use only Cook Top
Cleaning 

 brand cleaner to clean the cooktop.

● 

Do not operate the 

 surface

units if the glass is broken. 

 or

cleaning solution may penetrate a broken cooktop

and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately should 
glass cooktop become broken.

● 

Use care when touching the cooktop.

The glass surface of 

 cooktop will retain

heat after the controls have been turned off.

● 

Do not touch the surface units. These surfaces

may   hot enough to burn even though they are
dark in color. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing   other flammable materials
contact the surface units or 

 nearby surface

units; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and

areas facing the cooktop.

● 

When cooking pork, follow the directions

exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 

 This assures that,

in the remote possibility that 

 may be

present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat
will be safe to eat.
