Cooktop
Precautions when using the
Cooktop
WARNING
Before Cooking
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop
is broken, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk
of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
During Cooking
• Turn cookware handles inward so they don't
extend over adjacent surface units. This reduces
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the cookware.
• Always place the pan in the center of the surface
unit you are cooking on. Never leave surface
units unattended at high heat settings. Proper
contact of cookware to burner also will improve
efficiency. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spills that may catch on fire.
After Cooking
• Clean cooktop with caution. Do not use sponges
or cloth to wipe spills on a hot cooking area. Use
a proper metal scraper. If a wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, it can
cause steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
CAUTION
Before Cooking
• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting
board.
• Do not turn surface units on before placing
cookware.
• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop
surface that could fall and damage it.
• Do not place or store flammable or heat
sensitive items on the induction cooktop, even
when the cooktop is not in use.
• Place cookware on the cooking elements before
turning on the induction cooktop.
• Do not place sealed containers on the cooktop.
During Cooking
• Never cook directly on the glass. Always use
cookware.
• Do not place metallic objects such as knives,
forks, spoons, and lids on the induction cooktop
surface; they can get hot.
• Use this appliance only for normal household
use. It is not designed for commercial or
industrial use.
• Never use the appliance to heat the room.
• Use caution when plugging electrical appliances
into power outlets near the cooktop. Keep power
cords from any contact with the cooktop or
cookware.
• Overheated fat and oil can catch fire quickly.
Never leave surface elements unattended when
frying foods.
• Do not use the induction cooktop to heat
aluminum foil, products wrapped in aluminum
foil, or frozen foods packaged in aluminum
cookware.
• Use caution when plugging electrical appliances
into outlets near the cooktop to keep power
cords away from the hot cooktop or cookware.
• Users with pacemakers and active heart
implants must keep their upper body at a
minimum distance of 1 ft (30 cm) from active
induction cooking elements. If in doubt, consult
the implant manufacturer or your doctor.
After Cooking
• Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to
prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
• Do not use a steel-wool pad or scrub pad or
abrasive cleaning pads. They can scratch the
surface.
• After use, switch off the induction cooking
element using its control. Do not rely on the pan
sensor.
Pan Preheat Recommendations
Induction cooking may decrease the amount of
time required to preheat cookware compared to
cooking on a radiant element cooktop or gas
surface burner.
Pay close attention to all food items while cooking
on the cooktop or in the oven, and until all cooking
processes are complete.
CAUTION
• Remember that induction surface cooking
initially heats the cookware VERY QUICKLY if the
cookware does not contain food.
