IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Proper Installation: Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
WARNING: Never use your appliance for warming or heating a room. CAUTION: DO NOT touch Cooking Zones or areas near these surfaces.Cooking Zones may be hot from residual heat even though they are dark in color. Areas near the Cooking Zones may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. CAUTION: Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using this appliance.
CHILD SAFETY WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away. SAFETY DURING USE This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the home.
Do not place any object on or near the control keypad area in order to prevent accidental activation of the cooktop controls. Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units. Never leave prepared food on the Cooking Zones.
SAFETY WHEN CLEANING Always switch off the appliance before cleaning. For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high-pressure cleaner. Clean the cooktop in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning instructions in this manual. Steam cleaners are not to be used for cleaning of the cooktop. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or rough metal scrapers to clean the cooktop glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
Do not use cookware with rough or uneven bottoms. This cookware can mark and scratch the cooktop surface. See elsewhere in this manual for proper cleaning and maintenance of the cooktop. Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board. Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware. CAUTION Burn Hazard: The Cooking Zones may appear cool when turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. Take note of the Residual Heat Indicator above each cooking zone key.
SELECTING COOKWARE POTS AND PANS 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. Pots with aluminum or copper bases can cause metallic discoloring on the ceramic glass surface which is very difficult or impossible to remove. Be very careful when using cast iron pots or pots with damaged bases which are rough and/or have burrs on them. Scratches can occur if they are slid across the surface.
FOR BEST RESULTS Always follow the recommendations for proper cookware type and size. In addition: Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are easy to clean after cooking, and make sure that the bottoms of the pans are clean and dry. When cooking with large amounts of liquid, use large pots so that nothing can boil over. Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic cooktop.
