4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
pacemaker or similar medical device. It would be advisable to consult your doctor or the pacemaker or
medical device manufacturer about your particular situation.
• DO NOT touch cooking zones or areas near these surfaces. Cooking zones may be hot from residual heat
even though they are dark in color. Areas near the cooking zones may become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using this appliance.
• Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda or a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let pot holders touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a pot
holder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. A buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and
result in injury.
• Flammable materials should not be stored near or on the cooking surface. This includes paper, plastic
and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store
explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable materials may explode and result
in fire or property damage.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• Never place combustible items on the cooktop.
• Never keep any combustible items or aerosol cans in a drawer located under the cooktop.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise cooking when preparing foods in fat or
oil.
• Use a deep fat thermometer, if possible, to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
• If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock. Do not reuse
your cooktop until the glass surface has been replaced.
• When using the cooktop, never use aluminum foil, products wrapped in aluminum foil, or deep-frozen
food in aluminum cookware.
• This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been
adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.
• Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a cooktop or on the backsplash of a
cooktop – children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• Take care when plugging in electric appliances near the cooktop. Cords must not come into contact with
the hot surface. Doing so could cause damage to the cooktop and cable insulation.
• After use, switch off the cooktop element by its control and do not rely on the pan detector.
• Avoid placing metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the cooking surface areas. Metal
objects can become hot and cause burns.
• Do not place any object on or near the display area in order to prevent accidental activation of the
cooktop controls.
• Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface units. To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
cookware, the handles of cookware should be positioned so that they are turned inward, and do not
extend over adjacent surface units.
