safety
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat frier. Wait until it is cool.
Never leave a cooktop unattended when in use. Boil overs cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may ignite.
WARNING: Supervise the cooktop even if the time program function is on, in order
to ensure that food does not boil over or burn. Food spills may smoke and some
may catch fire, such as oil at high temperatures.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause
the container to burst and cause injury.
Always keep pot bases dry. The accumulation of pressure between the base and
the cooktop may cause the pan to jump unexpectedly, causing injury.
Never use the appliance if liquids or foods have spilled around the control panel.
Always turn off the cooktop and dry the control panel.
Only use high heat if necessary. To prevent boil overs and spattering, heat oil slowly
on low or medium-low
heat. Hot oil may cause serious burns and injury.
Injury and damage to the appliance may occur if commands are not used properly.
Use proprer pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
different size. Select utensils with flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to burner also improves efficiency.
Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking. These can be of
enameled steel, cast iron or special stainless steel utensils for induction cooking.
You must never use normal stainless steel, glass, ceramic, copper or aluminum
pans. Check that the bases of your pans are attracted by a magnet to find out if they
are suitable.
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills
and movement of the pan.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with a utensil, the handle of the utensil should be turned
inward so it does not extend over adjacent surface units.
Cleaning Safety
Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes
when applied to a hot surface. If a wt sponge or a cloth is used to clean spills on a
hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Never use steam cleaners to clean the cooktop.
Condition
of Unit
WARNING: 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. Contact a qualified servicer immediately.
If the display does not function when a cooking area is heating up, disconnect the
circuit breaker from the fuse box. Contact an authorized servicer.
