IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP • Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan. • Use proper pan size (radiant portion of cooktop) - This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. 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 element will also improve efficiency. • Use proper pan size (induction portion of cooktop) -This appliance is equipped with one or more induction cooking zones of different sizes. Select utensils specifically manufactured and approved for induction cooking that have flat bottoms that match the induction cooking zone size. Proper relationship of utensil to cooking zone will also improve efficiency. • Utensil 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 utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units. • Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat settings - Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt. • Glazed cooking utensils-Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use. • When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on. 6
