Important safety instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils
on the glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may
become hot and could cause burns.
• Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with
surface units of different size. Select pots and pans that
have at bottoms large enough to cover the surface area of
the heating element. Using undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may
result in the ignition of clothing. Matching the size of the
pot or pan to the burner will also improve efciency.
• Cookware Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk
of burns, ignition of ammable materials, or spillage due
to unintentional contact with cookware, position cookware
handles so that they are turned inward and do not extend
over adjacent surface units.
• Glazed cookware. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware can be
used for rangetop service without breaking due to sudden
changes in temperature.
• Cleaning. Read and follow all instructions and warnings on
the cleaning cream labels.
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electric shock or re.
• To avoid oil spillover and re, use a minimum amount of oil
when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods
that have excessive amounts of ice.
• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can damage the
range and cause the range to malfunction.
• Do not operate the cooktop without cookware. If the
cooktop operates without cookware, the control knobs will
become hot.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of
the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been
turned off.
• Do not move the container and bowl in a horizontal position
on cooktop surface.
