• Do not use the appliance to heat a room.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

1. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this manual.
2. Proper Installation – Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accor­dance with the provided installation instructions.
3. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Set­ tings – Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. Do not allow pots and pans to boil dry or empty.
4. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
5. Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
6. Wear Proper Apparel – Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surfaces of heaters and may cause severe burns.
7. User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of appli­ance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
8. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother a flame or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
9. Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholder on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot surfaces or radiant heaters. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
10. Storage in or on Appliance – Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units. Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a cooktop. Children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
11. Do not place hot cookware on top of the controls. The heat can transfer to the surface, resulting in the keypad controls becoming hot.
12. DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS. Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. These surfaces may become hot enough to cause bums. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heaters until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other potentially hot surfaces include cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
13. The installer should provide location of circuit breaker or fuse for the cooktop.
14. Before performing any service, disconnect the cooktop power supply at the household distribution panel by remov­ing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
15. Do not climb, stand or hang on cooktop. This could cause severe personal injury or damage the cooktop.
16. Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the cooktop.
17. Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from your cooktop.
18. Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your cooktop.
19. Never heat a sealed food storage container on cooktop as pressure buildup from increasing temperature could cause the container to rupture.
20. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. If the cooktop display, heaters or touch controls fail, consult a SHARP AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENT OF UNIT

1. To reduce the risk of fire, do not store anything directly on top of the appliance surface when the appliance is in operation.
2. Always have a working smoke detector in or near the kitchen.
3. Do not leave lids other metal objects such as knives, forks or spoons on the cooktop. If the cooktop is turned on, these objects can heat up quickly and may cause bums.
4. Do not place rough or uneven objects on the units as they may damage the surface. If the cooktop is near a window, ensure that curtains do not blow over or near the unit.
5. Do not store hard or pointed objects over the cooktop as they can damage the unit if they fall on top.
6. Do not put detergents or flammable materials in the equipment installed under the cooktop.
7. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
8. While cooking, any overflowed fat or oil on the cooktop may ignite. There is a risk of burning and fire; therefore, control the cooking process at all times. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries. Items with a magnetic field such as: radios, televisions, credit cards, cassette tapes etc., can affect the unit. The marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating on the appliance.
9. To prevent accidents and achieve optimal ventilation, allow for sufficient space around the cooking area.
10. Use Proper Cookware Size – This appliance is equipped with four heating elements, (two 7″ heaters on the left that may be used individually or combined as a Bridge for 9″x18″ griddles; one 6″ heater; and one that may be used as a 6″ or 9″ Double heater). Choose cookware with a flat bottom large enough to cover the surface of the heater. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating surface where direct contact may be made and cause serious injury. Compatible cookware will improve efficiency.
11. To reduce risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with cookware, the cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent heating surfaces.
12. Wear Proper Apparel – Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.

RADIANT SURFACE HEATERS

1. Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance has different size heaters. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface of the heater. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heater to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensils to the size of the heater will also improve efficiency.

2. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Set­ tings – Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. Do not allow pots and pans to boil dry or empty.

3. 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.

4. Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extended Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with utensils, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward and does not extend over adjacent heaters.

5. Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately. “

6. Clean Cooktop with Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface of a heater, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Please see cleaning the glass cooktop section.

7. Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

8. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

9. Deep Fat Fryers – Use extreme caution when moving the grease kettle or disposing of hot grease.

10. Always turn the heaters off before removing cookware.

11. Carefully monitor foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.

12. Food for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen  foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

13. Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
    If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together slowly before heating or as fats melt.

14. Always heat fat slowly and monitor as it heats.

15. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent heating fat beyond the smoking point.

16. Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.

17. Large scratches or impacts to glass cooktop can lead to broken or shattered glass.

18. Never use the glass cooktop surface as cutting board as this will damage the appliance.

19. Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.

20. Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns. The Spoon Rest Holder provided with your Workstation Sidekicks is ideal for resting utensils while cooking.

21. Do not allow objects or cookware that can melt, aluminum foil, paper or cloth to come in contact with a heater. Avoid preparing food in aluminum foil or plastic containers over the heaters. Do not line heaters with aluminum foil.

PRODUCT DISPOSAL
This product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it should be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Before operating your new Radiant cooktop Workstation:

• Ensure your cooktop has been properly installed and the power supply is properly connected by following all instruc­tions in the Installation Manual included with your cooktop.
• Be sure all protective packaging materials and tape have been correctly and completely removed.
• Read and understand all instructions in this Operation Manual.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE COOKTOP

• GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOP – Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on. Do not use the cooktop if the glass is broken or if metal melts on it.
• RADIANT HEATERS – The radiant heaters are beneath the smooth glass ceramic cooktop. The design on the cooktop outlines the area of the heater unit underneath. When the cooktop is in use, the Hot Surface/ON Indicator Light next to the heater being used illuminates, even if the cooktop unit does not look red. The areas surrounding around the heaters may become hot enough to cause burns.
• HOT SURFACE INDICATOR – The Hot Surface/ON Indicator light illuminates when a heater is turned ON and remains on after the heater has been turned OFF to indicate hot surface temperature. The indicator light will turn OFF automatically after the residual heat has cooled.
•  the event of a power failure to the home or to the cooktop, be aware that SURFACES OF HEATERS WILL REMAIN HOT even though the Hot Surface/ON Indicator Lights ARE NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. The Hot Surface/ON Indicator Lights will NOT come on automatically once power has been restored.
• TEMPERATURE LIMITER – The radiant heaters have a temperature limiter that allows the unit to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. It protects the glass ceramic cooktop from damage. Cycling at the HI setting can occur when improper cookware is used.

NOTE:

• Never leave any items on the cooktop. Hot surfaces of heat­ers may ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics or increase pressure in closed containers causing them to burst.
• Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop as they can cause damage if they drop onto the cooktop.
• Never cook food directly on the cooktop. Always use cookware.
• Never touch hot cookware or pots and pans directly with your hands. ALWAYS use oven mitts or potholders when handling hot cookware or pans to protect hands and arms from burns.

ABOUT COOKING UTENSILS

For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils as described below. Improper use of cookware can cause damage to the surface of the cooktop not covered under warranty.

• BOTTOM OF PAN – Pans should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heater. Check for flatness by using a straight edge. Pans with curved or warped bottoms are not recommended.
• SIZE OF PAN – Pan size should match the amount of food and the size of the heater. Do not use canners or pans that exceed the width of the radiant heaters.
• MATERIAL OF PAN – Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Some utensils were not made to be used on the cooktop.
• POSITION OF PAN – Always place the pan in the center of the heater you are using.
• WOK COOKING – Only a flat-bottomed wok is recom­mended. Do not use round-bottom wok or a wok with a support ring.

Improper use of cookwares can cause damage to the surface of the cooktop that is not covered under warranty.

• Do not slide cookware across the cooktop surface because it can scratch the glass or may leave marks which need to be removed promptly.
• Never allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the pan and the cooktop.
• Do not use aluminum foil on the cooktop surface.
• Do not use cooktop as a cutting board.

The quality and type of cookware material used affects how rapidly and evenly heat is distributed. This will affect the cooking results.

• Cookware with heavier bottoms distribute heat effectively delivering consistent cooking results.
• Dirt and grease buildup on the bottom of pots and pans affects heating; always use cookware that can be easily cleaned after each use.

Always follow manufacturer’s recommended guidelines for use with cookware.

COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS (PLACEMENT)

For best results and energy conservation, choose cookware that correctly fits the size of the heater being used. When using a griddle for the Bridge feature, the size recommended is 9″x18″.
Be sure to follow the following recommendations for using cookware:

• Cookware not centered on heater surface.

• Curved or warped pan bottoms or sides.

• Pan does not meet the minimum size required for the heater used.
  NOTE : Use of undersized cookware exposes a portion of the hot surface to contact with skin or clothing when cooking.

• Pan bottom rests on cooktop trim or does not rest completely on the cooktop surface.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Cookware centered correctly on heater surface.

• Flat pan bottom & straight sides.

• Pan rests completely on the cooktop surface.

• Pan is properly balanced.

• Do not let cookware extend l/211 (13 mm) beyond the surface of the heater.

Before using the cooktop, clean the cooktop with the cleaner cream. To avoid possible damage to the cooking surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.
Do not wipe any heater areas until they have cooled, and the hot surface indicator lights have gone off.
NOTE : Sugary spills and other products can damage the ceramic glass surface. If dry sugar, sugar syrup, tomato products, milk spills or heavily burned-on items occur on the surface DURING heating, clean the glass surface immediately. See section for details –

SUGARY SPILLS, MILK, TOMATO­BASED PRODUCTS, MELTED PLASTICS OR HEAVILY BURNED ON RESIDUE.

1. Apply a few drops of cleaner cream to the cooktop that is not hot.
2. Dampen clean paper towel and clean top.
3. Wipe off with another clean, damp paper towel, then wipe dry.

NOTE:

• Make sure bottom of cookware and cooking area are clean and dry before turning on the cooktop.
• Wipe up food spills and spatters before they burn on the surface.
• Do not mix cleaning products. Mixtures may interact and damage the surface.

SUGARY SPILLS, MILK, TOMATO-BASED PRODUCTS, MELTED PLASTICS OR HEAVILY BURNED ON RESIDUE
Sugary spills Uellies, fudge, candy, syrups etc.), milk, tomato­based products, melted plastics or heavily burned-on residue can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop unless the spill is removed while still hot. Damage from pitting is not covered by warranty.

SPECIAL CARE WHEN REMOVING
THESE SPILLS WHILE cooktop SURFACE IS HOT.
You must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot.

1. Turn off all heaters and remove all pans immediately.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper at a 30-degree angle against the glass ceramic surface and scrape from hot surface to a cooler area.
3. Remove the spills with paper towels.
