Glass/Ceramic Cooking Surfaces
1. Do Not Cook on Broken cooktop. If cooktop 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 cooktop 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.
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 on.
3. Turn off power at fuse panel.
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
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. Turn off power supply.
Precautions
• Do not cook food directly on cooktop surface, always
use cookware.
• Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical
mixtures may interact with objectionable or even
hazardous results.
