a qualified technician.
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left alone or unattended in area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.
• Wear Proper Apparel - Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance.
• User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified

• Storage in or on Appliance - Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or
near the surface units.
• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-
type extinguisher.
• Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist of 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 Proper Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boil over causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Appropriate Cookware - Only certain types of steel, cookware with iron bottom
surfaces, iron roasting pans, cast iron cookware, or Chrome plated steel pans are
suitable for induction cooking.
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-top – If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cook-top With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of pressure may cause container to
burst and result in injury.
