en-us IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS ▶ Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance. If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be certain that flammable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burners or heating elements. ▶ They could catch on fire. Cooking fires can spread if extinguished incorrectly. ▶ Never use water on cooking fires. WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE ▶ Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Set- tings - Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings. ▶ Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe'). ▶ Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. ▶ Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element. ▶ Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to deposits on the grease filter! Flames can be drawn into the ventilation system. ▶ Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation sys- tem during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off. Cookware Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. ▶ To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable mate- rials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, the handle of a cookware should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units. Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves, should never be worn while using the appliance. ▶ Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose. ▶ Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. ▶ Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. ▶ The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner will also improve efficiency. Controls may be operated unintentionally by spills covering the control panel. ▶ Never use the appliance if liquids or foods have spilled around the control panel. ▶ Always turn off the cooktop and dry the control panel. Boilovers can cause smoke and some foods and oils may catch fire if left on high temperature settings. ▶ When using a timer, always supervise the cooktop. ▶ Do not allow anything to boil over or burn. If the cooktop turns off automatically and can no longer be operated, it may turn itself on unintentionally at a later point. ▶ Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. ▶ Contact Customer Service for support. If the display does not work when a cooking area is heating up ▶ disconnect the circuit breaker or fuse in the electrical panel. ▶ contact an authorized service provider. Do not store items on the cooking surfaces. In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires. ▶ Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. CAUTION The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously. WARNING Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. ▶ Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. ▶ Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury. ▶ Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when nec- essary. ▶ To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. ▶ Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool. 4
