ImportantSafetyInstructions

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

Read all instructions before using the cooktop.

Install or locate the cooktop only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions.

Do not use the cooktop for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.

Do not leave children alone in area where the cooktop is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop. They could be burned or injured.

Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the cooktop. They could ignite if they touch a hot surface unit and you could be burned.

Do not repair or replace any part of the cooktop unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

Do not store flammable materials on or near the cooktop. They could explode or burn.

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on cooktop by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda, or if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extin- guisher.

Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surface units may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot surface units. Do not use a

towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. They could catch on fire.

Select a pan with a flat bottom that is about the same size as the surface unit. If pan is smaller than the surface unit, some of the surface unit will be exposed and may result in the igniting of clothing or potholders. Correct pan size also improves cooking efficiency. Never leave surface units unat- tended at high heat settings. A boil-over could result and cause smoking and greasy spill-overs that may ignite.

Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the cooktop. Only certain types of glass, glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface units. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping

of the pan.

Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.

Do not cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spill-overs may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
