IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Know which knob or key controls each surface heat-
ing area. Place cookware with food on the cooking
area before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off
before removing the cookware.
• Cookware handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface elements. — To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of the cookware should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over
other cooking areas.
• Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of
cookware are suitable for cook top service and must
be magnetic to work properly on the induction zones.
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook
top use to ensure that the cookware is compatible
with induction cooking.
• Improper cookware may break due to sudden
changes in temperature. Check the cookware manu-
facturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
• Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
cookware with flat bottoms that match the surface
unit size. Using the proper cookware on the cooking
area will improve efficiency.
CAUTION
Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device should
exercise caution using or standing near an induction unit
while it is in operation, as the electromagnetic field may
affect the working of the pacemaker or similar medical
device. It would be advisable to consult your Doctor or
the pacemaker or similar medical device manufacturer
about your particular situation.
• Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-overs
may cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite.
A pan that has boiled dry could be damaged and may
damage the cooktop.
•
When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS AND
CERAMIC COOKTOPS
• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop. If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of elec-
tric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can pro-
duce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR
APPLIANCE
CAUTION
• Before manually cleaning any part of the appliance,
be sure all controls are turned off and the
appliance is cool. Cleaning a hot appliance can
cause burns.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to operate the appliance during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the
appliance. If the appliance is not turned off and the
power resumes, electric surface elements may resume
operation when power is restored. Once the power
resumes, reset the clock and the oven function.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR INDUCTION
COOKTOP
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Do not allow grease to
accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch
fire.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended
directions for use of kitchen cleaners and aerosols.
Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and
aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean venitlating hoods frequently - Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning
vent hoods.
