NEVER
heat an unopened container on
the surface burner. Pressure build-up may
cause container to burst resulting in serious
personal injury or damage to the appliance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp pot-
holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should
never be used as potholders because they
can trail across hot surface burners and
ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for
deep fat frying cool before attempting to
move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or near
the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean
hood frequently to prevent grease from
accumulating on hood or filter. When
flaming foods under the hood turn the fan
on.
NEVER
wear garments made of flammable
material or loose fitting or long-sleeved
apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite
or catch utensil handles.

NEVER
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.
Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or
paper towel is used on a hot cooking area,
be careful to avoid steam burn.
Never stand on the cooktop.

Use pans with flat bottoms and handles
that are easily grasped and stay cool.
Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped
or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using
pans, especially small pans, with heavy
handles as they could be unstable and
easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move
when filled with food may also be
hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size
is particularly important in deep fat frying.
Be sure pan will accommodate the volume
of food that is to be added as well as the
bubble action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, do not extend
handles over adjacent surface burners.
Always turn pan handles toward the side
or back of the appliance, not out into the
room where they are easily hit or reached
by small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could
damage the utensil and the appliance.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop usage without breaking due to
the sudden change in temperature. Follow
manufacturer’s instructions when using
glass.
This appliance has been tested for safe
performance using conventional

accessories that are not specifically
recommended in this guide. Do not use
element covers for the surface units or
stovetop grills. The use of devices or
accessories that are not expressly
recommended in this manual can create
serious safety hazards, result in
performance problems, and reduce the
life of the components of the appliance.
