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 flam-
mable materials accumulate in or near the
appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood
frequently to prevent grease from accumu-
lating on hood or filter. When flaming foods
under the hood turn the fan on.
NEVER
wear garments made of flam-
mable 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. Al-
ways 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 cookware.
Do not use any devices or accessories that
are not specifically recommended in this
guide. Do not use eyelid covers for the
surface units or stovetop grills. The use of
devices or accessories that are not ex-
pressly recommended in this manual can
create serious safety hazards, result in per-
formance problems, and reduce the life of
the components of the appliance.

Turn off all controls and wait for appliance
parts to cool before touching or cleaning
them. Do not touch the burner grates or
surrounding areas until they have had suffi-
cient time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to
avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if ap-
plied to a hot surface.
