  WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when
using the cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the following: 
-  Proper installation is your responsibility. Make sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician.
-  NEVER USE YOUR APPLIANCE FOR WARMING OR HEATING THE ROOM.
-  DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED: Children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where appliance is being used. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
-  Do not store items of interest to children in an area where the appliances are in use. If children are
allowed to use the appliance, they must be closely supervised.
-  Wear proper apparel: loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.
-  FLAMMABLE MATERIALS SHOULD NEVER BE STORED NEAR SURFACE UNITS.
-  GREASE IS FLAMMABLE: Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease
deposits collect.
-  DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES: Turn appliance off and smother fire with baking soda or
use dry chemicals or a foam-type extinguisher.
-  Use only dry potholders: Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloths in place of
potholders.
-  Never let clothing, potholders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any
heating element until it has completely cooled.
-  DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS: Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. During and after use, do not touch heating elements with or without clothing or any flammable
material. Wait until they have had sufficient time to cool. If personal clothing or hair catches on fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish the flames.
-  Do not leave the packaging in the home. Separate the various waste materials and take them to the
nearest specialized waste collection facility.
-  ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED. It is the customer’s responsibility:
a) To contact a qualified electrician.
b) To ensure that the electrical system is adequate and in conformance with the national ANSI/NFPA 70
Electrical Code – Latest Edition; or the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.11 – 1982 and CAN/CSA C22.2
No. 61 (or latest edition) and all local codes and ordinances.
-  Always check that the controls are in the "zero" (off) position when you finish using the cooktop.
-  Do not put pans without a perfectly smooth and flat bottom on the cooktop. NEVER USE THE
COOKTOP AS A WORK SURFACE.
CAUTION: If a crack is detected in the glazed ceramic cooktop, immediately disconnect it from the main
power supply and contact the nearest service center.
-  Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual.
All other servicing should be done by a qualified technician.
-  Never leave the cooktop unattended when using high power settings. Boil overs cause smoke and
greasy spillovers may ignite. IMPORTANT: After a spill or boil over, turn off the heating zone and
clean around it. After cleaning, check that the appliance operates correctly.
-  Only certain type of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for range use. This type of utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use
only on low or medium heat settings, according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.
-  DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED FOOD CONTAINERS: A buildup of pressure may cause the containers
to burst.
-  DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE CLEANERS TO CLEAN THE RANGE.
-  Be sure all cooktop controls are turned off and that it is cool before using any type of cleaning
product on the ceramic cooktop or around it. The chemical elements in these products could, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
-  SERVICE SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY AUTHORIZED TECHNICIANS. Technicians must
disconnect the power supply before servicing this unit.
