9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning Safety

Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from steam.

Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance.

Do not soak removable heating elements - Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

Cookware Safety

Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.

Use Proper Pan Size.

The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.

Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for ceramic cooktops (only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable).

Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.

Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood products in or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury.

WARNING

Risk of electric shock

The cable insulation of electrical appliances can melt on hot parts of the appliance. Never let connecting cables of electrical appliances come into contact with hot parts of the appliance.

Make sure reflector pans or drip bowls are in place - Absence of these bowls or pans during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

WARNING

Failure to operate knobs properly may result in personal injury and damage to the appliance.

Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged. Contact an authorized servicer.

Do not cook on a broken cooktop. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may create a risk of electric shock.

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. Refer all servicing to a factory authorized service center.

To avoid electrical shock hazard, before servicing the appliance, switch power off at the service panel and lock the panel to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally.

Proper Installation and Maintenance

Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for details.
