IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

If the cooktop turns off automatically and can no longer 

be operated, it may turn itself on unintentionally at a later 

point. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. 

Contact Customer Support for service.

WARNING

If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to 

avoid the possibility of electric shock.

Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR 

UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are 

dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot 

enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not 

touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable 

materials contact surface units or areas near units until 

they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas 

are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up 

of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause 

injury.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on 

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let 

potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel 

or other bulky cloth.
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when 

necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil 

slowly, on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is 

capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. 

Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc., before beginning. Tie 

long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear 

loose-fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, 

scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
If the display does not work when a cooking area is 

heating up, disconnect the circuit breaker or fuse in the 

electrical panel. Contact an authorized servicer.

Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, 

it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to 

ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by 

qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on 

any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming 

drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the 

appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing 

severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely 

supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be 

left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance 

is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its 

vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an 

appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the 

backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach 

items could be seriously injured.

Cleaning Safety
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some 

cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot 

surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from 

steam.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance.

Cookware Safety
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. 

This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size. 

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. Select cookware having flat 

bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit. 

This appliance is equipped with one or more surface 

units of different sizes. Proper relationship of cookware to 

heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.
Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops 

may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only 

pans that are appropriate for ceramic cooktops (only 

certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic, 

earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable).
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not 

extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of 

the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and 

burns.
Always keep the cooktop and bases of pots dry. Liquid 

between the potbase and the cooktop may build up 

steam pressure, causing the pot to jump suddenly and 

causing injury.

Proper Installation and Maintenance
Have the installer show you the location of the circuit 

breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
This appliance must be properly installed and grounded 

by a qualified technician. Connect only to properly 

grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for 

details.
This appliance is intended for normal family household 

use only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the 

Statement of Limited Product Warranty. If you have any 

questions, contact the manufacturer.
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, 

flammables or nonfood products on or near this 

appliance. It is specifically designed for use when 

heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals 

in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and 

could result in injury.
