WARNING  
!
This appliance contains or produces a chemical or  
chemicals which can cause death or serious illness  
and which are known to the state of California to  
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.  
To reduce the risk from substances in the fuel or from  
fuel combustion make sure this appliance is installed,  
operated, and maintained according to the instructions  
in this booklet.  
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or  
death, make sure your cooktop has been properly  
grounded and always disconnect it from main power  
supply before any servicing.  
5. User Servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of  
the appliance unless specifically recommended in  
the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a  
qualified technician.  
6. Storage in or on Appliance. Flammable materials  
should not be stored on surface units.  
7. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires. Smother fire  
or flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type  
extinguisher.  
8. Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp potholders  
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do  
not let potholder touch elements. Do not use a towel  
or other bulky cloth.  
WARNING  
!
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR  
UNITS—Surface units may be hot though they are  
dark in color. Areas near elements may be hot enough  
to burn. During and after use, do not touch or let  
clothing or other flammable material contact surface  
elements until they have had time to cool.  
Surface Cooking Units  
1. Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped  
with one or more surface units of different size.  
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to  
cover the surface 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.  
CAUTION  
!
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion or  
ventilation air.  
Do not store gasoline or other combustible materials  
near cooktop.  
2. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended. Boilover  
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may  
ignite.  
3. Make Sure Drip Bowls Are in Place. Absence of  
these pans or bowls during cooking may subject  
wiring or components underneath to damage.  
4. Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line  
drip bowls. Improper installation of these liners may  
result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.  
5. Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of  
glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils  
are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due  
to sudden change in temperature.  
3
Installation  
6. Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not  
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. Reduce the risk  
of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage  
due to unintentional contact with the utensil. Position  
utensil handle so that it is turned inward, and does  
not extend over adjacent surface units.  
Unpacking Cooktop  
• Remove all packing and printed material packed with  
cooktop.  
• Slide cooktop out of box.  
To avoid damage, do not slide cooktop across  
countertop.  
7. Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements. Heating  
elements should never be immersed in water.  
Countertop Cutout and Clearances  
Prepare countertop opening according to dimensions  
shown in diagrams.  
Glass/Ceramic Cooking Surfaces  
1. Do Not Cook on Broken Smoothtop module. If  
module should break, cleaning solutions and  
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and  
create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified  
technician immediately.  
2. Clean Smoothtop Module with Caution. If a wet  
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot  
cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some  
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a  
hot surface.  
WARNING  
!
To avoid property damage or personal injury, observe  
the following specifications.  
To avoid serious burns or other personal injury caused  
by reaching over heated surface element, avoid  
locating storage cabinets above surface elements. If  
cabinet storage is located above surface units, install  
a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of  
5 inches beyond the cabinet bottom to reduce the  
risk.  
Exhaust Vent  
1. Clean Vents Frequently. Grease should not be  
allowed to accumulate on vent or filter.  
2. When flaming foods under hood, turn fan off. The fan,  
if operating, may spread the flame.  
3. Turn off power at fuse panel.  
CAUTION  
!
To avoid serious burns or other personal injury, do not  
store items of interest to children above or behind  
cooktop. Children climbing on cooktop to reach items  
could be seriously injured.  
IN CASE OF FIRE  
Fires can occur as a result of over cooking or excessive  
grease. Though a fire is unlikely, if one occurs, proceed  
as follows:  
Surface Element Fire  
To avoid improper installation, do not install cooktop  
in island above wall oven. Cooktop cannot be vented  
vertically if above wall oven.  
1. Smother the fire with a nonflammable lid or baking  
soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not  
water. Not salt. Not flour.  
2. As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface  
controls to OFF.  
PRECAUTIONS  
• Do not cook food directly on heating element, always  
use cookware.  
• Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical  
mixtures may interact with objectionable or even  
hazardous results.  
• Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas. They  
may stick and melt.  
• Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause damage  
to cooking surface and pan.  
• Do not use cooktop surface as a cutting board.
