W H AT TO DO
IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Read this Use & Care Information carefully before using your new cooktop to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to persons.
Ensure proper installation and
servicing. This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Have the installer show you where the fuse box is located so that you know where to turn off power.
Wear proper apparel. Never let loose clothing or other flammable materials come in contact with the elements while in operation. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
Use only dry pot holders when removing pans from the cooktop.
Wet or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements.
Select cookware of the proper size,
material and construction for the particular type of cooking being done. This unit is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Refer to Cookware Selection on page 19.
Always turn pan handles inward so
they do not extend over adjacent work areas, heating elements or edges of cooktop to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with pan. Do not turn handles toward the room, where they may be bumped or easily hit.
Always use a setting of eight bars or less on the bridge element when
cooking on a griddle. Higher settings are not needed and can damage the cooktop and cookware. Refer to
