Safety During USE, Safety When Cleaning

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•Utensil handles should be turned inward and should not extend over adjacent cooking zones to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

•Never leave prepared food on the Cooking Zones. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or become damaged.

•Protective liners: Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Only use aluminum foil as recommended after the cooking process, if used as a cover to be placed over the food. Any other use of aluminum foil may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or short circuit.

•Glazed cooking utensils: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

•Ventilating hood: The ventilating hood above your cooking surface should be cleaned frequently, so the grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the hood or filter.

•Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

•Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

SAFETY DURING USE (cont.)

•Do not place hot cookware on cold cooktop glass. This could cause glass to break.

•Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface. They may scratch the cooktop surface.

•Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marking that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty.)

•Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

CAUTION: DO NOT pick up the supplied bridge pan handles after cooking. They might be hot and there is a risk of burning yourself.

SAFETY WHEN CLEANING

•Always switch off the appliance before cleaning.

•For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high-pressure cleaner.

•Clean the cooktop in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning instructions in this manual.
