IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be
certain that flammable materials such as window
coverings do not blow over or near the burners or heating
elements. They could catch on fire.
Cooking fires can spread if extinguished incorrectly.
Never use water on cooking fires.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE
▶
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High
Settings - Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
▶
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
▶
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
▶
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate
for the size of the surface element.
▶
Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a
naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood
draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to
deposits on the grease filter!
Flames can be drawn into the ventilation system.
▶
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
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 handle of a cookware should be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface units.
Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments,
such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves, should
never be worn while using the appliance.
▶
Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose.
▶
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning.
Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to
▶
cover the surface unit cooking zone.
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
▶
of the cooking zone to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to
cooking zone will also improve efficiency.

▶
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
▶
