IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Never Leave Surface Units
Unattended at High Heat
Settings – Boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food
Containers – Build-up of
pressure may cause container to
burst and result in injury.
• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-
fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while
using the appliance.
• Use Proper Pan Size – This
appliance 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 heating
element will also improve
efficiency.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only
certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range-
top 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.
• If power is lost to an electric
cooktop with knob surface unit
controls while a surface unit is
ON, the surface unit will turn
back on as soon as power is
restored. In the event of power
loss, failure to turn all surface
unit knobs to the OFF position
may result in ignition of items on
or near the cooktop, leading to
serious injury or death.
• Do not place or store items that
can melt or catch fire on the
glass cooktop, even when it is
not being used. If the cooktop is
inadvertently turned on, they
may ignite. Heat from the
cooktop or oven vent after it is
turned off may cause them to
ignite also.
• Use Care When Opening Door –
Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing
food.
