Important Safety Instructions

continued on next page

You will be killed or seriously injured

if you don’t follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured

if you don’t follow instructions.

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your

appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the

word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

wDANGER

wWARNING

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,

and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – To reduce the risk of

fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or

damage when using the cooktop, follow

basic precautions, including the following:

•CAUTION – Do not store items of

interest to children in cabinets above

the cooktop – children climbing on

the cooktop to reach items could be

seriously injured.

•Proper Installation – The cooktop, when

installed, must be electrically grounded

in accordance with local codes or, in the

absence of local codes, with the

National Electrical Code

ANSI/NFPA 70

Be sure the cooktop is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician.

•Never Use the Cooktop for Warming

or Heating the Room.

•Storage on Cooktop – Flammable

materials should not be stored on or

near surface units.

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

This cooktop is equipped with a three-

prong grounding plug for your protection

against shock hazard and should be

plugged directly into a properly grounded

receptacle. Do not cut or remove the

grounding prong from this plug.

•

Disconnect the electrical supply before

servicing the cooktop.

•

Injuries may result from the misuse of the

cooktop such as stepping, leaning, or

sitting on the top surface.

Maintenance – Keep cooktop area clear

and free from combustible materials,

gasoline, and other flammable vapors

and liquids.

•

Top burner flame size should be adjusted

so it does not extend beyond the edge of

the cooking utensil.

•

4454944v11c46 8/25/98 2:58 PM Page 3

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS

OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface

units may be hot even though they are

dark in color. Areas near surface units

may become hot enough to cause

burns. During and after use, do not

touch, or let clothing or other flammable

materials contact surface units or areas

near units until they have had sufficient

time to cool. Among those areas are

the cooktop and surfaces facing the

cooktop.

•Use Proper Pan Size – This cooktop is

equipped with one or more surface units

of different size. Select utensils having

flat bottoms large enough to cover the

surface unit heating element. The use

of undersized utensils will expose a

portion of the heating element to direct

contact and may result in ignition of

clothing. Proper relationship of utensil

to burner will also improve efficiency.

•Never Leave Surface Units Unattended

at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes

smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite.

•Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain

types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,

earthenware, or other glazed utensils

are suitable for cooktop service without

breaking due to the sudden change in

temperature.

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

•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.

•Do Not Cook on 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 With Caution – If a

wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe

spills on a hot cooking area, be careful

to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners

can produce noxious fumes if applied

to a hot surface.

For units with ventilating hood –

•Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently –

Grease should not be allowed to

accumulate on hood or filter.

•When flaming foods under the hood,

turn the fan off. The fan, if operating,

may spread the flame.

Important Safety Instructions

4454944v11c46 8/25/98 2:58 PM Page 4

•Disconnect the electrical supply and/or

gas supply at the shutoff valve near the

cooktop before servicing the cooktop.

Gas cooktop

•Gas fuels and their use in appliances

can cause minor exposures to benzene,

formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and

soot, primarily from incomplete combus-

tion. Significant exposure to these

substances can be a health risk.

Properly adjusted burners with a blue,

rather than a yellow, flame will minimize

incomplete combustion. Venting with a

hood or an open window will further

minimize exposure.

•Never use a match or other flame to

look for a gas leak. Explosion and injury

could result.

•Know where your main gas shutoff

valve is located.

Vent system

•Do not block the vent system.

•Do not put hands in vent box when fan is

on. Injury could result.

•Filter must be in place for proper vent

system operation.

Care and cleaning

•Clean cooktop with care. Some cleaners

can produce noxious fumes if applied to

a hot surface. If a wet paper towel is

used to wipe spills on a hot cooking

area, be careful to avoid steam burns.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the

cooktop unless specifically

recommended in this manual. All other

servicing should be referred to a quali-

fied technician.

•Any additions, changes, or conversions

required in order for this appliance to

satisfactorily meet the application needs

must be made by an authorized dealer.

Cookware

Cookware tips

• Select a pan that is about the same size

as the surface cooking area. Cookware

should not extend more than 1 inch

(2.5 cm) outside the area.

• Cookware with non-stick finish has

heating characteristics of the base material.

• Check for rough spots on the bottom of

metal or glass cookware which will scratch

the ceramic glass surface.

•Use flat bottom cookware for best heat

• For best results and greater energy

efficiency, use only flat-bottomed

cookware that makes good contact with

the surface cooking area. Cookware with

rounded, warped, ribbed (such as some

porcelain enamelware), or dented bottoms

could cause uneven heating and poor

cooking results.

• Cookware designed with slightly indented

bottoms or small expansion channelscan

be used.

conduction from the surface cooking area

to the cookware. Determine flatness with

the ruler test. Place the edge of a ruler

across the bottom of the cookware. Hold it

up to the light. No light should be visible

under the ruler. Rotate the ruler in all

directions and look for any light.

• Do not leave empty cookware, or

cookware that has boiled dry, on a hot

surface cooking area. The cookware

could overheat, causing damage to the

cookware or the surface cooking area.

Characteristics of cookware materials

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan

material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the

best cooking results.

Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.

• Use for all types of cooking.

• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.

• Good for browning and frying.

• Maintains heat for slow cooking.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

Ceramic or

ceramic glass • Heats slowly and unevenly.

• Use on low to medium settings.

• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Earthenware • Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the

manufacturer.

• Use on low settings.

Porcelain enamel-on-steel

or enamel-on-cast iron • See cast iron and stainless steel.

Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.

• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware

provides even heating.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
