Instructions
WARNING:
Read all instructions before using this appliance. If the information
in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing prop-
erty damage, personal injury or death. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons, take these precautions:
General Safety
•
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified tech-
nician.
•
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop should break, cleaning solu-
tions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
•
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
•
This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. See the
Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
•
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
•
Never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room.
•
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances
are in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
•
When children become old enough to use the cooktop, they must be
instructed in safe practices.
•
Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the cooktop.
•
Do not store flammable materials on or near the cooktop.
•
In the event that personal clothing catches fire, drop and roll immediately to
extinguish flames.
•
Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact
with elements.
•
Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes when applied to a hot surface.
•
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda.
Never use water on cooking fires.
•
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a
hot element. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
•
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recom-
mended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
•
If the cooktop is near a window, be certain that curtains or any other window
covering do not blow over or near the elements; they could catch on fire.
•
When using the cooktop: Do not touch the surface units or the immediate sur-
rounding area.
•
Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
cause burns from steam.
•
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking,
and greasy spillovers may ignite.
•
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adja-
cent work areas, elements, or the edge of the cooktop.
•
Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never
be worn while cooking.
•
Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils that are suitable for cooktop use.
•
Leave the hood ventilator on when flambéing food.
