IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Use this appliance only for its intended use

as described in this manual.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your cooktop unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other

servicing should be referred to a qualified

technician.

Before performing any service, disconnect

the cooktop power supply at the household

distribution panel by removing the fuse or

switching off the circuit breaker.

Be sure your appliance is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician in

accordance with the provided installation

instructions.

Have the installer show you the location of

the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy

reference.

Do not leave children alone—children

should not be left alone or unattended in

an area where an appliance is in use. They

should never be allowed to sit or stand on

any part of the appliance.

Teach children not to play with the

controls or any other part of the cooktop.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or

hang on the cooktop.

CAUTION:

Items of interest to children

should not be stored in cabinets above 

a cooktop— children climbing on the

cooktop to reach items could be seriously

injured.

Always keep combustible wall covering,

curtains or drapes a safe distance from 

your cooktop.

Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot

holders and other linens a safe distance

away from your cooktop.

Always keep wooden and plastic utensils

and canned food a safe distance away 

from your cooktop.

Never wear loose-fitting or hanging

garments while using the appliance.

Flammable material could be ignited if

brought in contact with hot surface units

and may cause severe burns.

Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp

pot holders on hot surfaces may result in

burns from steam. Do not let pot holders

touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel

or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch

fire on a hot surface unit.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry 
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against 
foodborne illness.
