A Note to You

Thank you for buying a WHIRLPOOL* appliance.

Because your life is getting busier and more complicated, WHIRLPOOL cooktops are easy to use, save time, and help you manage your home better. To ensure that you will enjoy years of trouble-free operation, we developed this Use and Care Guide. It is full of valuable information on how to operate and maintain your cooktop properly and safely. Please read it carefully. Also, please complete and mail the Ownership Registration Card (U.S.A. or Canadian, whichever applies to you) provided with your cooktop. This will help us notify you about any new information on your cooktop.

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains warning symbols and statements. Please pay special attention to these symbols and follow any instructions given. Here is a brief explanation of the use of the warning symbol.
