IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ In the event of a fire, do not use water or grease on
fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by
covering the pan completely with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or a foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ Never leave the surface units unattended at medium
or high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
■ Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use
a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor
oil temperature.
WARNING
RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable
for cooktop service; others may break because of the
sudden change in temperature.
■ Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass
surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls
have been turned off.
■ Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the glass cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop
can be scratched with items such as knives, sharp
instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on
clothing.

■ To avoid spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of
oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen
foods with excessive amounts of ice.
■ Use the proper pan size - select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating
element. The use of undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby surface units.
■ Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire
on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.
If the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may
ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it is
turned off may cause them to ignite also.
■ Use a ceramic cooktop cleaner and a non-scratch
cleaning pad to clean the cooktop. Wait until the
cooktop cools and the indicator light goes out before
cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on a hot surface can
cause steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Read and
follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning
cream label. NOTE: Sugary spills are an exception.
They should be scraped off while still hot using an
oven mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section for detailed instructions.
