General Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your cooktop, follow basic safety precautions, 

including the following:

Important Safety Instructions

•  If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your 

dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance. 

•  Use this unit only in the manner intended by the 

manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the 

manufacturer.

•  The glass surface is resistant to impact but not unbreakable. 

If a pan or other object is dropped on it with sufficient force 

it can crack or pit. Do not operate the cooktop if the ceramic 

glass top is broken or severely pitted. If the cooktop should 

break, cleaning solutions and spill-overs may penetrate the 

broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact 

a qualified technician immediately to replace a damaged/

pitted cooktop.

•  Make sure that the cooktop has been properly installed 

and grounded by a qualified installer according to the 

accompanying installation instructions. Have the installer 

show you the location of the circuit breaker panel or fuse 

box so that you know where and how to turn off power to 

the appliance.

•  Do not install, repair or replace any part of the cooktop 

unless specifically recommended in the literature 

accompanying it. A qualified service technician must perform 

all other service.

•  Before performing any type of service, make sure that 

power to the cooktop is turned off at the circuit breaker 

panel or fuse box.

•  Only use the cooktop for cooking tasks expected of a home 

appliance as outlined in this manual. This appliance is not 

intended for commercial or industrial use.

•  DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKING UTENSILS OR THE 

IMMEDIATE AREA UNDER THE COOKING UTENSIL, 

DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. These areas may 

be hot (even when it appears to be cool). The glass surface 

heats because it is in contact with the hot cooking vessel.

•  Make sure individuals who use the cooktop are able to 

operate it properly.

•  Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or climb 

on any part of the cooktop. Doing so may cause damage, 

serious injury or death. Do not leave children or pets alone 

or unattended in the area around the cooktop. Do not allow 

children to play with the controls or touch other parts of the 

cooktop.

•  Do not store items of interest to children on top of or above 

the cooktop. Children could be burned or injured while 

climbing over the appliance.

•  Do not heat unopened canned food. Pressure build up may 

cause the container to burst and cause injury.

•  Use potholders to handle hot utensils.
•  Hold the handle of the utensil to prevent movement when 

stirring or turning food.

•  Do not tamper with the controls.
•  Do not place or store items that could melt or catch fire on 

the cooktop, even when it is not in use.

•  Do not cover the cooktop with anything except properly 

selected utensils. Decorative covers may cause a 

fire hazard or damage to the cooktop if an element is 

accidentally turned on with the cover in place.

•  Do not use the cooktop as a counter to store utensils or 

other items.

•  Clean and maintain the cooktop regularly as instructed 

in this manual. Keep the cooktop, ventilation filters and 

range hood free of grease that could catch fire. Clean only 

the parts specified in this manual. Clean them only in the 

manner instructed.

•  Do not allow plastic items to come in contact with a hot 

glass surface when it is hot. They can melt or burn and 

damage the glass surface.

•  Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the 

cooktop. Do not allow clothing to come into contact with 

the top of the cooktop or surrounding areas during and 

immediately after use.

•  Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over the 

cooktop.

•  If the cooktop is near a window, do not use long curtains as 

window treatment. The curtains could blow over the top and 

create a fire hazard.

•  To avoid the possibility of fire, do not leave the cooktop 

unattended when in use. Boil over causes smoking and 

greasy spill-overs that may cause injury.

•  Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, plastic 

and cloth away from hot surfaces. Do not use aluminum foil 

directly on the glass, it can melt and damage the glass.

•  When deep fat frying:

◊  Be certain that the pan is large enough to contain the 

desired volume of food without overflow caused by 

the bubbling of the fat. Never leave a deep fat fryer 

unattended.

◊  Avoid frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods with 

high water content may cause spattering or spilling of 

the hot fat.

◊  Heat fat slowly, and stir together any combination 

of oils and fats prior to applying heat. Utilize a deep 

fat frying thermometer to avoid heating the fat to 

temperatures above the flash point.

◊  Turn on the range hood.

•  Use extreme caution if adding water to food in a hot utensil. 

The steam can cause serious burns or scalds.

•  Do leave food on the cooking zones. Boil-overs can cause 

smoking or greasy spill-overs that can ignite.
