I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (cont.) • Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces. • Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. • When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N ENGLISH READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE SAFETY DURING USE • This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the home. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes. • Do not use the cooktop to heat the room. • Take care when plugging in electric appliances near the cooktop. Cords must not come into contact with the hot surface. This could cause damage to the cooktop and cable insulation.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N SAFETY DURING USE (cont.) • Do not place hot cookware on cold cooktop glass. This could cause glass to break. • Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface. They may scratch the cooktop surface. • Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marking that can affect the ceramicglass cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty.) • Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N ENGLISH HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE • Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning creme to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions. • Do not use the cooktop as a worksurface or storage space.
C O O K WA R E T I P S SELECTING COOKWARE POTS AND PANS USE FLAT-BOTTOMED COOKWARE The better the pot, the better the cooking results. • You can recognize good pots and pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and flat as possible. Cookware must fully contact the surface of the cooking element. Use flat-bottomed pans sized to fit the cooking element and amount of food being prepared. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.
C O O K WA R E T I P S ENGLISH SELECTING COOKWARE (cont.) AVOIDING SCRATCHES TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY: It is recommended to always use heavier gauge stainless steel cookware on your ceramic cooktop surface. This will help reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface. Low-quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface. Cookware should always be lifted over the ceramic cooktop surface to prevent scratching.
