Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
•
Do not allow pans to boil dry. Do turn on the cooktop
with empty cookware on the cooking zone. Doing so can
damage the pan and/or the cooktop.
•
Do not use towels or bulky cloth as potholders.
•
Always use potholders when removing cookware from the
cooktop. Use only dry potholders. Wet potholders can cause
steam burns.
•
Use high heat setting only when necessary, and never when
not monitoring the utensil. Use low to medium settings to
heat oil slowly. Hold the handle of the utensil to prevent
movement when stirring or turning food.
•
Wipe up all spills on the cooktop.
•
Use only the types of cookware specified in this manual.
Personal injury or damage may result from the improper use
of cookware. Do not use utensils that do not attract and hold
a magnet and never use a steel plate or griddle to heat a
nonmagnetic utensil, which can cause INJURY or DAMAGE
to the cooktop elements and controls.
•
Use utensils of the proper size, material and construction
for the particular type of cooking task. Utensils need to be
large enough to contain the desired quantity of food without
boil-overs or spill-overs. Choose pans with easy to hold
handles that will stay cool while cooking. Do not use utensils
with loose handles. Avoid using pans that are too heavy to
lift safely.
•
UTENSIL HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED INWARD AND
NOT EXTEND OVER ADJACENT SURFACE UNITS OR
COUNTERS. To reduce the risk of INJURY and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of
the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface units or counter
edges.
•
To avoid accidental activation of the cooktop controls, do not
place any objects or fluids on or near the cooktop controls.
•
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly. Cook meat to an
internal temperature of at least 160°F and poultry to an
internal temperature of at least 180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually avoids food-borne illness.
•
When an oven that has a self-cleaning feature is installed
below the cooktop, it is not recommended that the induction
cooktop be used during the oven self clean process.
CAUTION
•
Do not set cookware with sharp edges on the bottom
(such as support legs with sharp corners) on the cooktop.
Damage to the glass surface may occur.
•
Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to
remain on the cooktop surface. The porcelain finish may
stain. Remove any residue from the hot zone with a razor
scraper.
•
Never use the cooktop surface as a cutting board.
•
Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such
as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch the
cooktop’s surfaces.
•
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop. Sliding may
damage the finish. Lift utensils to reposition them. Utensils
with rough surfaces should be avoided since they can
scratch the glass surface.
•
Do not place large pots, griddles or grills across two
elements. Bridging across two elements will create stress
on the cooktop which can result in cracking.
•
Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds.
Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated room during
cooking.
•
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not place hot cookware
on a cold cooktop.
