Important Safety Information
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, make sure your cooktop has been properly grounded and always disconnect it from main power supply before any servicing.
WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury, do not touch surface elements or area near elements. Surface elements may be dark in color even when hot. Areas near elements may be hot enough to burn. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable material contact surface elements until they have had time to cool.
CAUTION
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
Do not store gasoline or other combustible materials near cooktop.

Surface Cooking Units
1.Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
2.Never Leave Surface Units Unattended. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
3.Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.
4.Never sit, stand, or lean on any part of the cooktop.
5.Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. Reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil. Position utensil handle so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
