Safety

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

Please read all safety instructions before using your new Electrolux cooktop.

[] [] [] []

Remove all tape and packaging before using the Cooktop. Destroy the carton and plastic bags

after unpacking the cooktop. Never allow children to play with packaging material. Do not remove

the model/serial plate attached to the cooktop.

Proper Installation-Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by aqualified

technician in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1--1atest edition in the

United States, or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1, and CAN/CGA B149.2, and the National

Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70--latest edition in United States, or in Canada CSA Standard

C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and local code requirements. Install and/or adjust only

per installation instructions provided in the literature package for this cooktop.

Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to shut

off gas supply at the meter and disconnect the electrical power to the cooktop at the circuit breaker or fuse

box in case of an emergency.

User servici ng--Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recom mended

in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician, This may reduce the

risk of personal injury and damage to the cooktop.

Never modify or alter the construction of a cooktop by removing panels, wire covers or any

other part of the product.

Safety

Storage on ApplianceiFlammable materials should not be stored on the cooktep or near

surface units. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and

towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the

cooktop. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.

Do Not Leave Children AloneiChildren should not be left alone or unattended in the area

where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS/UNIT, GRATES OR AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS/

UNIT. Surface burners/unit may be hot even though flames are not visible/unit is dark in color. Areas

near surface burners/unit may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,

or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to

cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.

Wear Proper Apparel--Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using

the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces. 'iii i ii!i ii!ii!i i i!i ii!i iii iiiii!!i'i!ii ! i il

Safety

Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners/Unit

--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional

contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and

does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

,, Never Leave Surface Burners/Unit Unattended at High Heat Settings--Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop, use aluminum foil only

to cover food during cooking. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock,

or fire.

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. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

.Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The Searing Grill is not designed for use on the cooktop.

Doing so may result in a fire.

Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner/Unit Covers. If a burner/unit is accidentally turned on, the

decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner/unit is

on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners/

unit because the covers may cause overheating. Air will blocked from the burner/unit and cause

combustion problems.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR GLASS COOKTOP

Do Not Operate or Clean a Broken Cooktop Glass,--If glass top 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 Glass with Caution.--If awet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking

area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot

surface.

Avoid Scratching the Cooktop Glass with Sharp Objects.

GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

For personal safety, the cooktop must be properly grounded. For

maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into an

electrical outlet that is correctly polarized and properly grounded.

DO NOT operate the cooktop using a 2-prong adapter or an

extension cord. If a 2-prong wall receptacle is the only available

outlet, it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it

replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle

installed by a qualified electrician.

See the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS packaged with this

cooktop for complete installation and grounding instructions.

FLAMESIZE

m [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

Formost cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to

complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size

for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food

being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly.

If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food

will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too

much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

Type of Cooking

Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam

Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

*These settings are based on using medium=weight aluminum pans with

lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame

simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the

flame.

PROPERBURNERADJUSTMENTS

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue

and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply

defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions

under General Care & Cleaning.
