• Cleantheapplianceregularlytokeepallpartsfreeofgreasethatcouldcatchre.

Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease lters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease

to accumulate on hood or lter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch re. When aming

food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

• UseProperPanSize. This appliance is equipped with one or more Cooking Zones of dif-

ferent sizes. Select utensils having at bottoms large enough to cover the Cooking Zones.

The pan detection sensors will not allow the affected Cooking Zones to operate without a

pan present.

• UtensilHandles Should Be TurnedInwardand Should Not Extend OverAdjacent

CookingZones. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and spillage

due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

• NeverLeavePreparedFoodontheCookingZones. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or become damaged.

• ProtectiveLiners. Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Only use alu-

minum foil as recommended after 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, re or short

circuit.

• GlazedCookingUtensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen-

ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due to the

sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop

use.

• Ventilatinghood. The ventilating hood above your cooking surface should be cleaned

frequently, so the grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the hood or lter.
