IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: 
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, 
injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow 
basic precautions, including the following:
■  
CAUTION: 
Do not store items of interest to children in 
cabinets above a cooktop – Children climbing on the 
cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
■  
Proper Installation – Be sure your cooktop is properly 
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
■  
Never Use Your Cooktop for Warming or Heating the 
Room.
■  
Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left 
alone or unattended in area where cooktop is in use. They 
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the 
cooktop.
■  
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments 
should never be worn while using the cooktop.
■  
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the 
cooktop unless specifically recommended in the manual. All 
other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. 
■  
Storage on Cooktop – Flammable materials should not be 
stored near surface units.
■  
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame 
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
■  
Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on 
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let 
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel 
or other bulky cloth.
■  
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 or other flammable materials contact surface 
units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time 
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces 
facing the cooktop.
■  
Use Proper Pan Size – This cooktop is equipped with one 
or more surface units of different size. Select utensils 
having 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 will also improve efficiency. 
■  
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat 
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers 
that may ignite.
■  
Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass, 
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed 
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking 
due to the sudden change in temperature.
■  
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend 
Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, 
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to 
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a 
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and 
does not extend over adjacent surface units.
■  
Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should 
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the 
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact 
a qualified technician immediately.
■  
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.
For units with ventilating hood –
■  
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not 
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
■  
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
For units with coil elements –
■  
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in 
Place – Absence of these pans or bowls during 
cooking may subject wiring or components 
underneath to damage.
■  
Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface 
unit drip bowls, except as suggested in the manual. 
Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of 
electric shock, or fire.
■  
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating 
elements should never be immersed in water.
