4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT touch cooking zones or areas near these surfaces. Cooking zones may be hot from residual heat even though they are dark in color. Areas near the cooking zones 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.
Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using this appliance.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.
Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.
Do not heat unopened food containers. A buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.
Flammable materials should not be stored near or on the cooking surface. 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 appliance. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Never place combustible items on the cooktop.
Never keep any combustible items or aerosol cans in a drawer located under the cooktop.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise cooking when preparing foods in fat or oil.
Use a deep fat thermometer, if possible, to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock. Do not reuse your cooktop until the glass surface has been replaced.
When using the cooktop, never use aluminum foil, products wrapped in aluminum foil, or deep-frozen food in aluminum cookware.
This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.
Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a cooktop or on the backsplash of a cooktop – children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Take care when plugging in electric appliances near the cooktop. Cords must not come into contact with the hot surface. Doing so could cause damage to the cooktop and cable insulation.
After use, switch off the cooktop element by its control and do not rely on the pan detector.
Avoid placing metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the cooking surface areas. Metal objects can become hot and cause burns.
Do not place any object on or near the display area in order to prevent accidental activation of the cooktop controls.
Cookware 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 cookware, the handles of cookware should be positioned so that they are turned inward, and do not extend over adjacent surface units.
Never leave prepared food on the cooking zones. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or become damaged.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Only use aluminum foil as recommended after the cooking process, if used as a cover to be placed over the food. Any other use of aluminum foil may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or short circuit.
Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop. If the cooktop breaks, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.
Keep pets away from the product to avoid risk of fire or burns. Do not allow pets to climb on the product even when it is not in operation.
Liquids such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling, due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling is not always present when the container is removed from the cooktop. This could result in very hot liquids suddenly boiling over when the container is disturbed or a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid. To reduce the risk of injury to persons.
– Do not overheat the liquid.
– Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
– Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
– After heating, allow the container to stand on the cooktop for a short time before moving the container.
– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container after heating.
Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or storage space.
Do not operate the cooking zones with empty pots or pans.
Do not turn on the cooking zones with no pots or pans on the element.

Maintenance

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. All servicing should be done only by a qualified technician to avoid the risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance.
Take care to avoid steam burns if using a wet sponge or cloth to wipe spills on a hot cooking area.
Wait for the cooktop to cool before using cooktop cleaners. Some cleaners can produce NOXIOUS FUMES if applied to a hot surface.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
If your appliance malfunctions or fractures, switch off all cooking zones, and contact the LG Customer Information Center for service.
Always keep the control panel clean and dry. Do not let liquids or grease remain on the cooktop display area. Spilled or burnt-on foods can activate or deactivate the appliance. Clean the display area thoroughly to resume normal operation of the appliance.
Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on the hood or filters. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

CAUTION STATEMENTS

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of minor or moderate injury to persons, malfunction, or damage to the product or property when using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Operation

This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the home. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the cooking zones. The pan detection sensors will not allow the affected cooking zones to operate without a pan present.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
Do not place hot cookware on cold cooktop glass. This could cause the glass to break.
Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface. They may scratch the cooktop surface.
Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marking that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty.)
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly, meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160 °F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180 °F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illnesses.
Prior to using the cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning cream to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when the cooktop gets soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Please be careful at the edges when moving pots and pans.
Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to sharp temperature changes but is not unbreakable. It can be damaged if hard or sharp objects fall on it.
Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron, or other pots with rough edges or burrs. Moving these can cause scratches on glass.
Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface.
Do not use cookware with any dirt buildup on the bottom.
Do not use cookware with rough or uneven bottoms. This cookware can mark and scratch the cooktop surface.
Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.

Maintenance

Always switch off the appliance before cleaning.
For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high-pressure cleaner.
Clean the cooktop in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning instructions in this manual.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or rough metal scrapers to clean the cooktop glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
Clean the cooktop cautiously. Do not use sponges or cloth to wipe spills on a hot cooking area. Use a proper metal scraper.
If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a hot cooking zone and melts, remove immediately, while still hot. If left to cool down, it may damage the surface when removed.
Keep meltable objects or materials away from the ceramic glass surface, for example, plastic utensils, aluminum foil, or cooking wraps. If any materials or foodstuffs melt on the ceramic-glass surface, these should be cleaned up immediately.
Use oven mitts to avoid burns when using a metal scraper on a hot cooking zone.
Refer to the Maintenance section for proper cleaning and maintenance of the cooktop.

Disposal of Old Appliances

To protect the environment, it is important that worn-out appliances are disposed of in the correct manner.

The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.
You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse disposal sites from your local government or waste collection service.
Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable so they cannot be a source of danger. To do this, have a qualified person disconnect the appliance from the house circuitry.
