IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GLASS-CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE
%
Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE
UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact
surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. This includes
the induction plate.
%
Do not cook on a broken induction plate.
If the induction plate is broken, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken induction plate and create a risk of
electric shock. Switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock and
contact a qualified technician immediately.
%
Do not use the glass induction plate surface as a cutting board.
%
Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass induction plate, even
when it is not being used.
%
Select pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the heating elements.
%
Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
%
Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware. Do not rely on the pan
sensor.
WARNING
Do not leave fats or oils to heat unattended on the cooktop. Spillovers can result
in a fire.
%
The induction plate is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or
separate remote-control system.
%
Turn cookware handles inward so they don't extend over adjacent surface units.
This reduces the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the cookware.
%
Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
%
Some cleaners can produce dangerous fumes if applied to a hot surface.
%
Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids on the induction plate
surface, because they can get hot.
%
Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.
Never leave
surface units unattended at high heat settings.
Proper contact of cookware to burner
also will improve efficiency. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spills that may catch on
fire.
%
Clean induction plate with caution.
Do not use sponges or cloths to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area. Use a proper metal scraper. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, it can cause steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes
if applied to a hot surface.
%
Do not turn surface units on before placing cookware.
%
Do not store heavy items above the induction plate surface that could fall and damage it.
%
Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders, or plastic wrappings or any other material on the rangetop when it is in use.
%
Do not use a steel-wool pad or scrub pad or abrasive cleaning pads. They can scratch the
surface.
