Important Safety Instructions
Read before operating your cooktop
1. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this man-
ual. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
2. Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The appliance
must be installed and electrically grounded according to local codes.
3. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing should be re-
ferred to a qualified technician. Warranty service must be performed
by an authorize service agency.
4. The “push-to-turn” knobs of this appliance are designed to be child-
safe. However, children should not be left alone in the kitchen while
the cooktop is in use.
5.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different size. Refer to the suitable and unsuitable pots and pans
section. Proper relationship of utensil to surface unit will also improve ef-
ficiency.
6. Do not touch the hot surface of the ceramic glass. The induction unit
itself does not produce any heat during cooking, however, the heat
from the pan will leave the surface of the ceramic glass hot!
7. Do not cook empty pots or pans.
8. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot sur-
face areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
9. GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Do
not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother
with sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of utensil can be ex-
tinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chem-
ical or foam type extinguisher. Let fat cool before attempting to
handle it. Wipe up spillovers immediately.
10. If you are “flaming” liquors or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN
THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of
control.
