When properly cared for, your new appliance has been 

designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions 

carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the 

risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. 

When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions 

must be followed, including those in the following pages. 

Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of 

transport damage, do not plug it in.

Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to 

come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or 

grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan,  

be certain that flammable materials such as window 

coverings do not blow over or near the burners or 

elements. They could catch on fire.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. 

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may 

ignite.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:

Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat.

Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be 

allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

Use proper pan size. Always use cookware 

appropriate for the size of the surface element.

Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a 

naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood 

draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to 

deposits on the grease filter!

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, 

drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, 

highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires 

with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN 

THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE 

FOLLOWING:

SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie

sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE

CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not

go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE

DEPARTMENT.

NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be 

burned.

DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or 

towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

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.

- The fire department is being called.

- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system 

during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire 

to turn it off.

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described 

in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as a space 

heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in 

overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance for 

storage.

Never use the appliance if liquids or foods have spilled 

around the control panel. Always turn off the cooktop 

and dry the control panel.

Failure to operate knobs properly may result in personal 

injury and damage to the appliance.

If the cooktop turns off automatically and can no longer 

be operated, it may turn itself on unintentionally at a later 

point. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. 

Contact the after-sales service.

If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to 

avoid the possibility of electric shock.
