This unit has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 18 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This unit generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this unit does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the unit off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: s Reorient or relocate the receiving antennae. s Increase the distance between the unit and receiver. s Connect the unit into an outlet or a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. s Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more COOKING ELEMENTS of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the Cooking Elements. The pan detection sensors will not allow the affected 2 Cooking Element to operate without a pan present. s Utensil handles should be turned inward and should not extend over adjacent cooking elements to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil. s Never leave prepared food on the cooking elements unattended. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or become damaged. s Protective liners: Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Only use aluminum foil as recommended after the cooking process, if used as a cover to be placed over the food. Any other use of aluminum foil may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or short circuit. s Avoid placing any objects on or near the keypads in order to prevent accidental activation of the cooktop controls. s Know which touch key pad controls each surface element. s Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning. Serial Plate Location You will find the model and serial number printed on the serial plate. The serial plate is located under the cooktop. Please see the illustration for exact location.
