Important Safety Instructions
COOKING SAFETY
• Do not allow aluminum foil, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot element.
• Avoid preparing food in aluminum foil or plastic containers over the hot cooking
zones.
• Protective liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line cooking zone, drip bowls or
oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper use of these liners
may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• Do not allow pans to boil dry or empty.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
• Always use the proper pot and pan size.
• The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the hot element, which
can result in ignition of clothing or personal burners.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use dry pot holders to hold the handles of pots/pans.
• Use only dry potholders - moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating elements.
• Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• Always remove the covers on sealed or canned goods and before heating to
avoid explosion.
• Nevertheless, we strongly recommend That a person with physical or mental
impairments not use the appliance unless accompanied by a qualified person.
The same recommendation applies to children.
• When the unit is on, do not touch outside the control panel as the surface may
contain residual heat. It is important to be aware that the unit’s surface will
remain hot for a short period of time after use.
