IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
come in contact the surface elements or areas nearby the surface elements; allow
sufficient time for cooling first.Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and areas facing
the cooktop.
• 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 cooktop without extending over any nearby
surface elements.
• Always turn the surface element control to off before removing the cookware.
• Use proper pan size - Select cookware that has flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
heating element.The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface element to
direct contact and may result in clothing catching on fire. Proper relationship of cookware to surface
element will also improve efficiency.
• Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable
for cooktop cooking; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium-high heat settings.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking
point.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• Do not store flammable materials near the cooktop.
• Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any appliance.
• Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food on the cooktop when not in use.
• Keep cooktop clean and free of accumulation of grease or spillovers which may ignite.
• Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure buildup may make container burst and cause
injury.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or near your cooktop.
INDUCTION ELEMENTS
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp
instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not place or store items on top of the glass cooktop surface when it is not in use.
• Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is
in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
• Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage the cooktop and the pan.
• Do not allow water, grease, or any other liquids to remain on the cooktop.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, always be certain that the controls for all surface elements
are at the off position and the entire glass surface is cool before attempting to clean the cooktop.
Do not operate the glass surface elements if the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may
penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately if your glass cooktop has been broken.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
