9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner will also improve efficiency. Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for ceramic induction cooktops. Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns. WARNING RISK OF INJURY When cooking with a double-boiler, the cooktop and cooking vessel may crack due to overheating. The cooking vessel in the double-boiler must not come in direct contact with the bottom of the pot filled with water. Use only heat-resistant cookware. WARNING DANGER OF INJURY Cookware may jump upward due to fluid trapped between the cookware bottom and cooking zone. Always keep cooking zone and cookware bottom dry. Proper Installation and Maintenance Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference. This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for details. This appliance is intended for use up to a maximum height of 13,100 feet (4,000 meters) above sea level. This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the Statement of Limited Product Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer. Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood products on or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury. Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged. Contact an authorized servicer. Do not cook on a broken cooktop. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may create a risk of electric shock. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. Refer all servicing to a factory authorized service center. To avoid electrical shock hazard, before servicing the appliance, switch power off at the service panel and lock the panel to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally. Electromagnetic interference WARNING This induction cooktop generates and uses ISM frequency energy that heats cookware by using an electromagnetic field. It has been tested and complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules for ISM equipment. This induction cooktop meets the FCC requirements to minimize interference with other devices in residential installation. Induction cooktops may cause interference with television or radio reception. If interference occurs, the user should try to correct the interference by: ▯ Relocating the receiving antenna of the radio or television. ▯ Increasing the distance between the cooktop and the receiver. ▯ Connecting the receiver into an outlet different than the cooktop. It is the user's responsibility to correct any interference. CAUTION Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device should exercise caution when standing near an induction cooktop while it is in use. Consult your doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker or similar medical device for additional information about its effects with electromagnetic fields from an induction cooktop. WARNING HAZARD DUE TO MAGNETISM The wireless temperature sensor is magnetic. The magnetic elements can damage electronic implants such as pacemakers or insulin pumps. People with electronic implants should therefore not put the temperature sensor in the pockets of their clothes and should maintain a minimum distance of 4" (10 cm) with respect to their pacemaker or similar medical device. Cooling fan The cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan on its underside. Should the cooktop lie above a drawer, there must be no objects or paper in it. They may be sucked in and compromise the cooling of the appliance or damage the fan. There must be a minimum distance of ¾" (20mm) between the content of the drawer and the fan input. 7
