specifically recommended in the accompanying literature. A
qualified service technician should perform all other service.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. After use, make sure these surfaces
have had sufficient time to cool before touching them.

• Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check the manufacture’s
recommendations before use to determine if a utensil is suitable for
use on a cooktop. Certain types of glass, ceramic and earthenware
are not suitable for use on a cooktop. Personal injury or damage may
result from the improper use of cookware.
• Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.
• Select cookware carefully. Use cookware of the proper size,
material and construction for the particular type of cooking being
done. Cookware needs 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 cookware with loose handles. Avoid using pans that are too
heavy to lift safely.
• Do not allow pots or pans to boil dry.
• Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a hot cooktop. The

burner.

birds to a separate, well-ventilated room when using the cooktop.
• When deep fat frying:
– be certain that the pan is large enough to contain the desired
volume of food without overflow caused by the bubbling of the
fat. Never leave a deep fat fryer unattended.
– avoid frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods with high
water content may cause spattering or spilling of the hot fat.
– heat fat slowly and stir together any combination of oils and
fats prior to applying heat. Use a deep fat frying thermometer
to avoid heating the fat to temperatures above the flash point.
• This cooktop has a 3-prong grounding plug to protect against

with a dedicated, grounded 3-prong electrical outlet.
Under no circumstances should you:
• cut or remove the power cords' third (ground) prong
• use an adapter plug
• use an extension cord
• use a power cord that is frayed or damaged
• plug the cooktop into an electrical outlet with a ground fault
interrupter (GFI).

tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If
the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.

violent steam explosion may result.

to operate it.
– the fire is small and contained in its area of origin.
