iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

Never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

*Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking

soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

*When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

*Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholders touch

hot heating surface units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

*Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

iMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

*Know which touch key pad controls each surface unit of the cooking zones.

*Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan

ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

*Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with one or more cooking zones of different sizes. Select utensils having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the minimum cooking zones, the pan detection sensors will not allow the affected cooking zone to operate without a pan sufficient size present.

*Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward

from Edges of Cooktop and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. To reduce the risk

of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and

spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

*Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at a Hi Heat Settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

*Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the appliance. Only use aluminum

foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or short circuit.

*Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types

of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top 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 Use Decorative Surface Element

Covers. If an element is accidentally turned

on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the appliance.

*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.

*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. Pans that boil dry

may permanently damage the cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or marking it. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty).
