Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the following: 1. Read all instructions before using the cooktop. 2. Install or locate the cooktop only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions. It is recommended that the cooktop be installed by a qualified installer. The cooktop must be properly connected and grounded to electrical supply. 3. DO NOT use the cooktop for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured or a fire could start. 4. DO NOT leave children alone in area where cooktop is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop. They could be burned or injured. 5. DO NOT wear loose or hanging garments when using the cooktop. They could ignite if they touch a hot surface unit and you could be burned. 6. DO NOT repair or replace any part of the cooktop unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. 7. DO NOT store flammable materials on or near the cooktop. They could explode or burn. 8. DO NOT use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foamtype extinguisher. 9. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. DO NOT use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. They could catch on fire. 10. Select a pan with a flat bottom that is about the same size as the surface unit. If pan is smaller than the surface unit, some of the heating element will be exposed and may result in the igniting of clothing or potholders. Correct pan size also improves cooking efficiency. 11. DO NOT leave surface units on high heat settings. Boil-overs and greasy spill-overs could cause steam and smoke, and could ignite and burn you. 12. Make sure the reflector bowls are in place during cooking. Cooking without reflector bowls may subject the wiring and components underneath them to damage. 13. DO NOT line reflector bowls with aluminum foil or other liners. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. 14. Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the cooktop. Only certain types of glass, glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. 15. Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface units. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan. 16. DO NOT soak removable heating elements in water. The element will be damaged and shock or fire could result. 17. DO NOT heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury. 18. DO NOT store things children might want above the cooktop. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it. 19. DO NOT touch surface units or areas near surface units. Areas near surface units become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, DO NOT touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near surface units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
