IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS. Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing,
▶
potholders, or other flammable materials contact sur-
face units or areas near units until they have had suffi-
cient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop
and areas facing the cooktop.
Clean Cooktop With Caution.
▶
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
▶
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to
a hot surface.
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot.

burned.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or tow-
▶

Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
▶
- You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and
you already know how to operate it.
- The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.

- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Liquid between the pot base and the cooktop may build up
steam pressure. This may cause the pot to jump suddenly
causing injury.
Always keep the cooktop and bases of pots dry.
▶
When cooking with a double-boiler, the cooktop and cook-
ing vessel may crack due to overheating.
▶
The cooking vessel in the double-boiler must not come
in direct contact with the bottom of the pot filled with
water.
Use only heat-resistant cookware.
▶
Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop or range-top service with-
out breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Use only pans that are appropriate for ceramic cook-
▶
tops.
Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops
▶
may break with sudden temperature changes.
WARNING
Moisture intrusion may cause an electric shock.
Do not use any steam cleaners or high-pressure clean-
▶
ers to clean the appliance.
WARNING - If the surface is cracked, switch off the appli-
ance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
Do Not Cook on a Broken Cooktop - If the cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
