IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Injury prevention  
Protect your hands with insulated  
gloves or potholders when using  
the appliance. Use only dry, heat  
resistant potholders. Moist or damp  
potholders used on hot surfaces can  
result in steam burns. Do not let the  
potholder touch the hot heating  
Children should not be left  
unattended in an area where the  
cooktop is in use. Never allow children  
to sit or stand on any part of the

elements. Do not use towels or other  
bulky items near the appliance.  
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging  
garments when operating the  
cooktop, they may present a fire  
hazard.  
Use the Safety Lock to prevent  
children from turning on the  
cooking zones or changing the  
settings. See "Safety lock" for more  
information.  
Use the proper pan size. Select  
cookware with flat bottoms large  
enough to cover the heating element.  
Using undersized cookware will expose  
a portion of the heating element and  
may result in ignition of clothing or  
handles becoming hot. The proper size  
pot or pan will also improve efficiency.  
Keep all pots and pans out of the  
reach of children. Danger of  
burning or scalding. Special  
cooktop/stove guards are available  
from retail outlets.  
Pot and pan handles should be  
turned inward and not extend over  
the countertop to reduce the risk of  
burns, ignition of flammable materials,  
and spills.  
Do not touch the cooktop or the  
surrounding areas during or  
immediately after use. The cooktop may  
be hot even though it is dark in color.

Never leave a cooktop unattended  
To prevent burns and breathing  
difficulty, allow the cooktop to cool  
before cleaning. Some cleaners may  
produce toxic fumes if applied to a hot  
surface.  
at high settings or when cooking  
with oil or fat. Overheated oil could  
ignite. Always heat oil slowly,  
monitoring it as it heats.  
Do not use water on grease fires.  
Smother or use a dry chemical or  
foam-type extinguisher on any fire or  
flame.  
When wiping spills on a hot  
cooktop with a wet sponge or  
cloth, be careful to avoid steam burns.  
Do not let flammable materials,  
i.e. cooking grease, accumulate on  
the appliance.  
When frying food make sure that  
the food is as dry as possible  
before placing it in oil. Moisture can  
cause hot oil to splatter and boil over.  
At high settings, be cautious of  
splattering grease or boiling over  
liquids which may produce smoke.  
Never cover the cooktop with a  
cloth. A fire may result.  
Do not store items on the cooktop  
when not in use. Items could melt  
or catch fire from residual heat or if the  
cooktop is turned on inadvertently.  
Do not flambé under an exhaust  
hood. Flames could be drawn up  
into the hood by the suction and the  
grease filters may ignite.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Damage protection  
Do not allow either solid or liquid  
sugar, pieces of plastic or foil to fall  
on the burners when they are hot. If  
these residues are allowed to cool on  
the ceramic surface pitting or even  
cracking may occur.  
Never place hot pots or pans over  
the touch controls, this may  
damage the electronics.  
Do not drop anything on the  
ceramic surface of the cooktop.  
Even lightweight objects may cause  
damage.  
Any spills should be removed as  
quickly as possible to prevent them  
from burning on and becoming difficult  
to remove.  
Do not use pots or pans with  
pronounced edges or ridges on  
the ceramic cooktop. These could  
scratch the cooktop permanently. See  
"Selecting cookware" for more  
Do not use a steam cleaner to  
clean this appliance. Steam could  
penetrate electrical components and  
cause a short circuit.  
information. Grains of salt and sand can  
cause scratches. Make sure that the  
bases of any pots and pans are clean,  
free of any fat or oils and are dry.  
To prevent damage to the cooktop  
do not use pots and pans with thin  
bases on the cooktop. Never heat an  
empty pan unless the pan manufacturer  
states that you can do so.  
Before using glass, glass/ceramic,  
ceramic, earthenware or other  
glazed cookware verify that they can be  
used on a cooking surface.

Selecting cookware  
Following these tips will allow you to  
make the most of your ceramic  
cooktop.  
Pots and pans  
Special cookware is not required, but  
as is true with all types of cooking  
appliances, the better the cookware,  
the better the performance.  
The cooking surface  
The ceramic cooktop is made of an  
extremely hard and durable material.  
The surface is scratch resistant, not  
scratch proof. Avoid using cookware  
with ridged bottoms. Ridged pots with  
dirty or chipped enamel bottoms may  
scratch the cooktop if they are pulled  
across the ceramic surface.  
For the most even and energy  
efficient cooking, the diameter of the  
pots/pans should match the diameter  
of the burners as closely as possible.  
Make sure the cooktop and pot bottoms  
are clean before cooking. Certain  
items, particularly sugar grains or  
crystallized liquids such as molasses or  
syrups are harder than ceramic and  
can scratch the surface if they are not  
cleaned off immediately. Small or light  
scratches will not affect the safety or  
performance of the cooktop.  
Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth  
bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms  
will also work adequately. Pans with  
convex bottoms will not cook well.  
The burner rings and touch controls are  
fused into the ceramic glass and are  
resistant to wear if properly maintained.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads,  
as they may eventually wear off the  
rings.  
Using a lid while cooking will  
minimize the loss of heat and  
decrease the cooking time.  
17  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Selecting cookware  
Copper bottom and aluminum pans  
may leave a residue on the cooktop in  
the form of metallic lines. This is normal.  
These lines can be removed using a  
non-abrasive ceramic cooktop cleaner  
or a shielded scraper blade.  
Be sure to clean the cooktop after  
each use. Each time this residue is  
allowed to melt it becomes harder to  
remove and may mar the  
appearance of the cooktop.  
Let the cooktop cool before  
cleaning.  
Cast iron, glass or stoneware should  
not be used because they have poor  
heat transfer and may scratch the  
cooktop surface.

cooled to a safe temperature the  
heating elements will automatically turn  
back on.  
The overheating protection may be
