READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
• Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface. Wet clothes or sponges can cause burns from
steam.
• After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the
cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and burner
ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.
Cookware Safety
• Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the
pan.
• Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware
will expose a portion of the heating element or burner
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface heating unit. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of different
size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating
element or burner will also improve efficiency.
• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do
not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the
edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires,
spills and burns.
• Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship
of cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks.
• Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils that are
suitable for cooktop use.

breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

flammables or nonfood products in or near this
appliance. It is specifically designed for use when

chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the
