Important Safety Information
This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the home. It is not
designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
Do not use the cooktop to heat the room.
Take care when plugging in electric appliances near the cooktop. Cords must not come into
contact with the hot surface. This could cause damage to the cooktop and cable insulation.
Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise cooking when preparing
foods in fat or oil.
After use, switch off the cooktop element by its control and do not rely on the pan detector.
Always keep the control panels clean and dry. Do not let liquids or grease remain on the
cooktop controls area. Spilled or burnt-on foods can activate or deactivate the appliance.
Clean the controls area thoroughly to resume normal operation of the appliance.
Never place combustible items on the cooktop.
Never keep any combustible items or aerosol cans in a drawer located under the cooktop.
Avoid placing metal cooking utensils on the cooking surface areas. Metal objects can
become hot and cause burns.
Know which touch keypad controls each surface of the cooking zones.
Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust
fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to
accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more Cooking Zones of
different sizes.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the Cooking Zones. The pan
detection sensors will not allow the affected cooking zones to operate without a pan
present.
Do not place any object on or near the control keypad area in order to prevent
accidental activation of the cooktop controls.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and should not extend over adjacent cooking
zones to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil.
Never leave prepared food on the Cooking Zones. Boil-overs cause smoke and greasy
spillovers that may ignite or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or become damaged.
Protective liners: Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended after the cooking process, if used as a cover to be placed
over the food. Any other use of aluminum foil may result in the risk of electric shock, 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.
