IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP

Know which knob or key controls each surface

heating area. Place cookware with food on the

cooking area before turning it on. Turn the

cooking area off before removing the cookware.

Cookware handles should be turned inward and

not extend over adjacent surface elements. — To

reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable

materials, and spillage due to unintentional

contact with the utensil, the handle of the

cookware should be positioned so that it is turned

inward, and does not extend over other cooking

areas.

Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of

cookware are suitable for cook top service and

must be magnetic to work properly on the

induction zones. Check the manufacturer’s

recommendations for cook top use to ensure that

the cookware is compatible with induction

cooking.

Improper cookware may break due to sudden

changes in temperature. Check the cookware

manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop

use.

Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped

with one or more surface units of different sizes.

Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the

surface unit size. Using the proper cookware on

the cooking area will improve efficiency.

Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-

overs may cause smoking and greasy spills that

may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be

damaged and may damage the cooktop.

When you are flaming foods under a ventilating

hood, turn on the fan.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS

AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS

Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop. If

cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and

spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and

create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified

technician immediately.

Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet sponge

or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking

area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some

cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to

a hot surface.

Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp

objects.

Do not attempt to operate the appliance during

a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off

the appliance. If the appliance is not turned off

and the power resumes, electric surface

elements may resume operation when power is

restored. Once the power resumes, reset the

clock (if equipped).

Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical

device should exercise caution using or

standing near an induction unit while it is in

operation, as the electromagnetic field may

affect the working of the pacemaker or similar

medical device. It would be advisable to consult

your doctor or the pacemaker or similar medical

device manufacturer about your particular situa-

tion.
