IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
� CAUTION:
The cooking process should be supervised.
Short cooking periods require constant supervision.
� Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
�
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and 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, the handle of a utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does
not extend over adjacent surface units.
� Metal objects, such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should
not be left on the cooking surface as they may get hot.
�
Do Not Cook on 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. Turn off the device to
avoid the possibility of electric shock.
�
If the power supply cord gets damaged, have it replaced by
the manufacturer, the latter’s service agent or by qualified
personnel in order to avoid danger.
�
Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
�
The device is not designed to be started up by an external
timer or by a separate remote control system.
For units with ventilating hood
� Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
�
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
For units with coil elements
�
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place –
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may
subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
� Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit drip bowls, except as suggested in the manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of
electric shock, or fire.
�
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating
elements should never be immersed in water.
For smart enabled ranges and ovens
� Remote operation – This appliance is configurable to allow
remote operation at any time. Do not store any flammable
materials or temperature sensitive items inside, on top or
near surface units of the appliance.
