If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be
certain that flammable materials such as window cover-
ings do not blow over or near the burners or heating ele-
ments. They could catch on fire.
Cooking fires can spread if extinguished incorrectly.
▶ Never use water on cooking fires.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE
FIRE
▶ Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Set-
tings - Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium set-
tings.
▶ Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Ju-
bilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
▶ Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate
for the size of the surface element.
▶ Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a
naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood
draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to
deposits on the grease filter!
Flames can be drawn into the ventilation system.
▶ Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation sys-
tem during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
Cookware Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Ex-
tend Over Adjacent Surface Units.
▶ To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable mate-
rials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
cookware, the handle of a cookware should be posi-
tioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend
over adjacent surface units.
Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments,
such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves, should
never be worn while using the appliance.
▶ Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose.
▶ Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning.
Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of different size.
▶ Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface unit heating element.
▶ The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element or burner to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to heating element or burner will also im-
prove efficiency.
Controls may be operated unintentionally by spills cover-
ing the control panel.
▶ Never use the appliance if liquids or foods have spilled
around the control panel.
▶ Always turn off the cooktop and dry the control panel.
Boilovers can cause smoke and some foods and oils may
catch fire if left on high temperature settings.
▶ When using a timer, always supervise the cooktop.
▶ Do not allow anything to boil over or burn.

overheating may result causing smoke and damage to the

SOR FUNCTION OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
