IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms,
except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and
avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
• Do not operate the cooktop without cookware. If the cooktop operates without cookware, the
control knobs will become hot.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after
the controls have been turned off.
• Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface when
it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
• Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different size. Select
pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface area of the heating
element. Using undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct
contact and may result in the ignition of clothing. Matching the size of the pot or pan to the
burner will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units.
• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage due to unintentional
contact with utensils, position utensil handles so that they are turned inward and do not extend
over adjacent surface units.
• Glazed cooking utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed cookware can be used for rangetop service without breaking due to sudden
changes in temperature.
• Be sure you know which control knob operates each surface unit. Make sure you turned on
the correct surface unit.
• Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
• When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface that mcould fall and damage it.
• Do not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers – If an element is accidentally
turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if
the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.
