tions for cooktop use.

equipped with one or more surface units
of diff erent sizes. Select cookware with fl at
bottoms that match the surface unit size.
Using the proper cookware on the cooking
area will improve effi
ciency.
Never leave surface elements unattend-
ed. Boil-overs may cause smoking and
greasy spills that may ignite. A pan that

lating hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP
WARNING
If an oven installed underneath is perform-
ing self-clean, then the surface cooking
unit must be turned off .
CAUTION
Persons with a pacemaker or similar
medical device should exercise caution
using or standing near an induction unit
while it is in operation, as the electro-
magnetic fi eld may aff ect the working
of the pacemaker or similar medical
device. It would be advisable to consult
your doctor or the pacemaker or similar
medical device manufacturer about your
particular situation.
Know which knob or key controls each
surface heating area. Place cookware with
food on the cooking area before turning it
on. Turn the cooking area off before re-
moving the cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned in-
ward and not extend over adjacent surface
elements. — To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of fl ammable materials, and spill-
age due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of the cookware should
be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over other cooking
areas.
Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain
types of cookware are suitable for cook
top service and must be magnetic to work
properly on the induction zones. Check
the manufacturer’s recommendations for
cook top use to ensure that the cookware
is compatible with induction cooking.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cook-
top. If cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of elec-
tric shock. Contact a qualifi ed technician
immediately.
Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a
steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with
sharp objects.
