WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the following safety instructions.

Important Safety Instructions

Read before operating your cooktop

1.Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

2.Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The appliance must be installed and electrically grounded according to local codes.

3.Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. Warranty service must be performed by an authorize service agency.

4.The “push-to-turn” knobs of this appliance are designed to be childsafe. However, children should not be left alone in the kitchen while the cooktop is in use. CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

5.Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Refer to the suitable and unsuitable pots and pans section. Proper relationship of utensil to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

6.Do not touch the hot surface of the ceramic glass. The induction unit itself does not produce any heat during cooking, however, the heat from the pan will leave the surface of the ceramic glass hot!

7.Do not cook empty pots or pans.

8.Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot surface areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

9.GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother with sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of utensil can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Wipe up spillovers immediately.

10.If you are “flaming” liquors or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.
