Read before operating your rangetop
1. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this
manual. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
2. Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The
appliance must be installed and electrically grounded according to
local codes.
3. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician. Warranty service must be
performed by an authorize service agency.
4. The “push-to-turn” knobs of this appliance are designed to be
childsafe. However, children should not be left alone in the kitchen
while the rangetop is in use.
CAUTION:
Do not store items of
interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items
could be seriously injured.
5. Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more
surface units of different size. Refer to the suitable and unsuitable
pots and pans section. Proper relationship of utensil to surface unit
will also improve efficiency.
6. Do not touch the hot surface of the ceramic glass. The induction
unit itself does not produce any heat during cooking, however, the
heat from the pan will leave the surface of the ceramic glass hot!
7. Do not cook empty pots or pans.
8. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot
surface areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
9. GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Do
not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother with sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of utensil
can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose
dry chemical or foam type extinguisher. Let fat cool before
attempting to handle it. Wipe up spillovers immediately.
10. If you are “flaming” liquors or other spirits under an exhaust,
TURN
THE FAN OFF
.
The draft could cause the flames to spread out of
control.
