IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
•
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified installer in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
•
Have the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
•
Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
•
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your cooktop unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
•
Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE COOKTOP POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY
REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING
OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
•
Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.
•
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the cooktop.
•
CAUTION
: ITEMS OF INTEREST
TO CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED
IN CABINETS ABOVE A COOKTOP—
CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE COOKTOP
TO REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY
INJURED.
•
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
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 clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
•
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
•
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate on the cooktop.
•
Do not use 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 completely with a well-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 a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
•
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface
unit, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleansers can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
•
NOTE:
We recommend that you avoid wiping
any surface unit areas until they have cooled
and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar
spills are the exception to this. Please see the
Glass Cooktop Cleaning section.
•
When the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream to clean
the cooktop.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire,
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
