SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Read before operating your cooktop All appliances - regardless of the manufacturer - have the potential through improper or careless use to create safety problems. Therefore the following safety precautions should be observed: 1.- Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. 2. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. 3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where appliance is in use.
13. Glazed cookware - only certain types of glass, glass-cerar0ic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for cooktop surface without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Use only such cookware as you know has been approved for this purpose. 14. Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface heating elements to avoid burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware. 15.
