d IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth. Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat frier. Wait until it is cool. Never leave a cooktop unattended when in use. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. WARNING: Supervise the cooktop even if the time program function is on, in order to ensure that food does not boil over or burn. Food spills may smoke and some may catch fire, such as oil at high temperatures. Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury. Always keep pot bases dry. The accumulation of pressure between the base and the cooktop may cause the pan to jump unexpectedly, causing injury. Never use the appliance if liquids or foods have spilled around the control panel. Always turn off the cooktop and dry the control panel. Only use high heat if necessary. To prevent boil overs and spattering, heat oil slowly on low or medium-low heat. Hot oil may cause serious burns and injury. Injury and damage to the appliance may occur if commands are not used properly. WARNING: If the temperature sensing system does not work properly, boil overs may cause fire and injury. WHEN COOKING WITH THE TEMPERATURE DETECTION SYSTEM, NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Cookware safety S Always cover the pan (except for frying with oil) S Fill pans with at least 1/4 (3cm) of liquid S Always use the proper size and shape of pans (enameled and stainless steel pans with heat detection tape) S Always turn the tape toward the cook sensor S Always clean the cook sensor glass Use proprer pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils with 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 also improves efficiency. Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking. These can be of enameled steel, cast iron or special stainless steel utensils for induction cooking. You must never use normal stainless steel, glass, ceramic, copper or aluminum pans. Check that the bases of your pans are attracted by a magnet to find out if they are suitable. Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan. 6
