IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits
in the fan could catch fire. When flaming food
under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
Use Proper Pan Size
. This
appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different sizes. Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of the surface heating unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit
will also improve efficiency.
•
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward from
Edges of Cooktop and Should Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Units
. To reduce the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil.
•
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at a
Hi Heat Settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that
has boiled dry may melt.
•
Protective Liners
. Do not use aluminum foil
to line any part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if
used as a cover placed on the food. Any other
use of protective liners or aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire or short
circuit.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils
. Only certain types
of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for
range top service without breaking due to
the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.
• Ventilating hood.
The ventilating hood above
your cooking surface should be cleaned
frequently, so the grease from cooking vapors
does not accumulate on the hood or filter.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element
Covers.
If an element is accidentally turned
on, the decorative cover will become hot and
possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers
are touched. Damage may also be done to the
appliance.
• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop.
If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop
and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cooktop with Caution.
If a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some
cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied
to a hot surface.
• Do Not Place Hot Cookware on Cold Cooktop
Glass.
This could cause glass to break.
• Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface.
They may scratch the cooktop surface.
• Do not let pans boil dry.
Pans that boil dry
may permanently damage the cooktop by
breaking, fusing to, or marking it. (This type of
damage is not covered by your warranty).
