IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each surface
heating area. Place cookware with food on the
cooking area before turning it on. Turn the
cooking area off before removing the cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned inward and
not extend over adjacent surface elements. — To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the
cookware should be positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over other cooking
areas.
Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of
cookware are suitable for cook top service and
must be magnetic to work properly on the
induction zones. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cook top use to ensure that
the cookware is compatible with induction
cooking.
Improper cookware may break due to sudden
changes in temperature. Check the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.
Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the
surface unit size. Using the proper cookware on
the cooking area will improve efficiency.
Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-
overs may cause smoking and greasy spills that
may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be
damaged and may damage the cooktop.
When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop. If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some
cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to
a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
Do not attempt to operate the appliance during
a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off
the appliance. If the appliance is not turned off
and the power resumes, electric surface
elements may resume operation when power is
restored. Once the power resumes, reset the
clock (if equipped).
Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical
device should exercise caution using or
standing near an induction unit while it is in
operation, as the electromagnetic field may
affect the working of the pacemaker or similar
medical device. It would be advisable to consult
your doctor or the pacemaker or similar medical
device manufacturer about your particular situa-
tion.
