Before Using Your Cooktop: 

1.  Read all instructions before using your cooktop unit.  If you have questions please call us 

at 800-725-7711 between 9am and 5pm EST. 

2.  Insure proper installation and servicing.  Have the cooktop installed by a qualified 

electrician.  All cooktops must be grounded for the controls to function.  Improper 
installation could destroy your electronic controls and void the warranty. 

3.  Know where your circuit breaker or fuse box is located and mark the cooktop location. 

4.  Do not repair or replace any part of the unit unless specifically recommended in the 

Installation or Use and Care manual.  All other servicing should be performed by a 
qualified technician. 

Safety Precautions: 

1.  Use the unit only for it’s intended purpose. 

2.  Never use the unit to heat or warm the room. 

3.  Before servicing, disconnect the power supply by removing the fuse or switching off the 

circuit breaker. 

4.  When using an electrical appliance near the cooktop, be sure that the cord of the 

appliance does not come into contact with the burner area. 

5.  Do not leave children unattended in an area where appliances are in use.  They should 

never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop or the area around the cooktop. 

6.  Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the cooktop.  They could 

be seriously injured in attempting to reach these items. 

7.  Do not store items on the unit. 

8.  Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come into contact with, or 

close proximity to the burners while in operation.  Fabric may ignite and cause personal 
injury.  For personal safety, wear proper apparel - loose fitting or hanging garments 
should never be worn while cooking. 

9.  Allow sufficient time for the unit to cool before touching or exposing surface areas to 

flammable materials. 

10. Always use dry pot holders when removing utensils from the burners.  Wet or damp pot 

holders can cause steam burns.  Do not let pot holders touch the heating elements.  Do 
not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
