IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Correct use
 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 mate-
rials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had suf-
ficient time to cool. Among these areas are (identification of areas –
for example, the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop).
 The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while af-
ter being turned off. There is a potential hazard until the residual heat
indicator goes out.
 Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking on high
power. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter,
which can ignite on the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance.
 When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat,
which can cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire.
Never use the cooktop to heat the room.
 Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches
fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water.
Turn off the cooktop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable
fire blanket.
 Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing
agent or foam fire extinguisher.
 Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should not be
stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the cooktop.
 The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.
Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.
