All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
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:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Proper Installation – Be sure your cooktop is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Cooktop Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High
Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• 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.
• 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.
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.
