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

•Do not use the cooktop for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.
•Use the cooktop only for its in- tended use as described in this manual.
•DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS OR AREAS NEAR SURFACE BURNERS. Areas near surface burners become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let cloth- ing or other flammable materials contact surface burners or areas near surface burners until they have had sufficient time to cool.
•Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the cooktop. They could ignite if they touch a hot surface burner and you could be burned.
•Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on surface burn- ers may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch surface burners. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch on fire.
•Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot con- tents could cause burns and con- tainer particles could cause injury.
•Do not store flammable materials on or near the cooktop. The fumes can create an explosion and/or fire hazard.
