IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using your cooktop
Save These Instructions
• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from
steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
in place of potholders. Do not let potholders
touch hot cooking areas.
• This appliance is equipped with one or more
surface units of different sizes. Always use
utensils that have fl at bottoms and that are
large enough to cover the whole cooking area.
The use of a utensil smaller than the size of the
cooking area will expose a portion of the heated
area to direct contact with the user which could
result in burns. Proper relationship of utensil to
burner will also improve effi ciency.
• Turn handles of utensils inward so that they do
not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking
areas, or the edge of the cooktop. This will
help prevent hot food spills, risk of burns and
ignition of fl ammable materials, and preventing
access by children.
• The cooktop is for cooking. Never use it to
warm or heat a room.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualifi ed servicer in accordance
with the Installation Instructions provided with
the cooktop.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifi cally recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualifi ed servicer.
• Always use cookware and utensils appropriate
for the type and amount of food being
prepared.
• Do not place any hot cookware on the control
panel area.
• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only
when necessary. Use low to medium settings
to heat oil slowly.
• Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep
fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when
using high heat settings. Boilovers can cause
smoke and possibly damage the cooktop.
• Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement
of the utensil when stirring or turning food.
• Other than the use of metal pans, only certain
types of glass, heatproof glass ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop use. These types of
utensils may break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only on low or medium heat
settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s
directions.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If the soil must
be removed while the cooktop is hot, clean
the hot top with the metal razor blade scraper
only. Do not use a wet sponge or cloth while it
is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes
if applied to a hot surface.
• Clean the ventilation system above or behind
the cooktop frequently so that grease from the
cooking vapors does not accumulate on the
fi lters, fan, intake, or hood.
• For people who wear electronic implants
such as a pacemaker or insulin pump, it is
possible that some implants may be affected
by magnetic fi elds. You should not carry the
control knob (mTwisT dial) in your pockets. The
control knob is highly magnetic and persons
wearing electronic implants should keep the
control knob at least four inches from the
implant.
