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 sufficent time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and

areas facing the cooktop.
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.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking, and

greasy spillovers may ignite.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. BuildĆup of pressure may cause

the container to burst and cause injury.
Always keep the cooktop and bases of pots dry. Liquid between the pot base and

the cooktop may build up steam pressure, causing the pot to jump suddenly and

causing injury.
Never operate the cooktop with spillover or liquid around the control area. Always

switch off the cooktop and dry the control area.
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.

Use proper pan size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the

heating element 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 size. Proper

relationship of cookware to heating element 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).
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills

and movement of the pan.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work

areas or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.

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 cooktop.
