Burn Prevention
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, potholders, or other flammable 
materials contact surface units or areas near units until 
they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas 
are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up 
of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause 
injury.
Always use 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.
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when 
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil 
slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is 
capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. 
Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie 
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear 
loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, 
scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
WARNING
RISK OF BURNS
Metallic objects become hot very quickly on the cooktop. 
Never set down metallic objects, such as knives, forks, 
spoons and lids on the cooktop.
If the display does not work when a cooking area is 
heating up, disconnect the circuit breaker from the fuse 
box. Contact an authorized servicer.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, 
it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal 
guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe 
practices by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on 
any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming 
drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the 
appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing 
severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely 
supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be 
left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance 
is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its 
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an 
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the 
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach 
items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some 
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot 
surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from 
steam.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance.
Cookware Safety
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. 
This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size. 
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of 
the heating element or burner to direct contact and may 
result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat 
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit. 
This appliance is equipped with one or more surface 
units of different size. Proper relationship of cookware to 
heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.
Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops 
may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only 
pans that are appropriate for ceramic cooktops (only 
certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic, 
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable).
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not 
extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of 
the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and 
burns.
WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
When cooking with a bain-marie, the cooktop and 
cooking vessel may crack due to overheating. The 
cooking vessel in the bain-marie must not come in direct 
contact with the bottom of the pot filled with water. Use 
only heat-resistant cookware.
Always keep the cooktop and bases of pots dry. Liquid 
between the potbase and the cooktop may build up 
steam pressure, causing the pot to jump suddenly and 
causing injury.
Proper Installation and Maintenance
Have the installer show you the location of the circuit 
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
This appliance must be properly installed and grounded 
by a qualified technician. Connect only to properly 
grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for 
details.
