IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Injury prevention
Do not touch the cooktop or the area surrounding it during or im- immediately after use. The cooktop may
be hot even though it is dark in color. Areas near it may become hot enough to cause burns. During or after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch the cooktop or surface areas near it until they have cooled. Wait for the residual heat indicator lights go out.
CAUTION: Do not store toys or items of interest to children in
cabinets above or behind the appliance. Children climbing onto the cooktop to reach these items may be injured.
Children should not be left alone in the area where the appliance is in
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Protect your hands with insulated gloves or potholders when using
the appliance. Only use dry, heat resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces can result in steam burns. Do not let the potholder touch the heating element. Do not use towels or other bulky items near the appliance.
Clean the cook top with caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills off a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Also, some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Keep all pans out of reach of children. Danger of burns!
Pan handles should be turned in and not extend over the area of a burner to reduce risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spills due
to unintentional contact with the pan.
