To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, Or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic precautions, including

l Read all instructions before using the cooktop.

l Install or locate the cooktop only in accor- dance with the provided Installation Instruc- tions. It is recommended that the cooktop be installed by a qualified installer. The cooktop must be properly connected to electrical supply and grounded.

l Do not operate the cooktop if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

l If your cooktop has a ceramic cooktop module, do not cook on it if it is broken. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spill-overs may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

l Do not use the cooktop for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.

l Use the cooktop only for its intended use as described in this manual.

l Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the cooktop. They could ignite if they touch a hot surface unit and you could be burned.

l For coil elements, make sure the reflector bowls are in place during cooking. Cooking without reflector bowls may subject the wiring and components underneath them to damage.

l Do not line reflector bowls with aluminum foil or other liners. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

l Do not touch surface units or areas near surface units. Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near surface units until they have had sufficient time to cool.

l Select a pan with a flat bottom that is about the same size as the surface unit. If pan is smaller than the surface unit, some of the heating element will be exposed and may result in the igniting of clothing or potholders. Correct pan size also improves cooking efficiency.

*Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface units. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan.

l Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. They could catch on fire.

l Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the cooktop. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

l Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.

l Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease to collect around cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill-overs immediately.

l Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on cooktop by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

l Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. A boil-over could result and cause smoking and greasy spill-overs that may ignite.

l Make sure surface units are off when you are finished, and when you are not watching.

l Do not store flammable materials on or near the cooktop. They could explode or burn.

l Do not store things children might want above the cooktop. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.

l Do not leave children alone or unattended in area where the cooktop is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop. They could be burned or injured.
