If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the lack, or inadequacy of, an effective grounding system. Do not connect the appliance to the main electrical supply using an extension cord.
Extension cords do not meet the safety requirements of this appliance. Before servicing, disconnect the power supply by either removing the fuse, unplugging
the unit or manually "tripping" the circuit breaker. 3 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Do not install the cooktop directly above a dishwasher, refrigerator or freezer. Heat radiated by the cooktop may damage them. If the cooktop is installed above an oven, keep the cooktop's power cord from contacting the oven. Because of the heat radiated it is not recommended to install the cooktop above a drawer. It should only be installed above a cabinet base unit with a dummy drawer front and an additional protective base between the appliance and the cabinet.

Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit. Never place hot pots or pans over the display, as the underlying
electronics may be damaged.
