Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions

■Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.

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

■Before performing any service, disconnect the cooktop power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

■Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

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

■Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

■Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the cooktop.

■Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the cooktop.

■CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a cooktop— children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

■Always keep combustible wall covering, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your cooktop.

■Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance away from your cooktop.

■Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance away from your cooktop.

■Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units and may cause severe burns.

■Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface unit.
