6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP WARNING Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use. If an oven installed underneath is performing self-clean, then the surface cooking unit must be turned off. CAUTION 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 situation. 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. 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.
