6. Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. Reduce the risk
of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil. Position
utensil handle so that it is turned inward, and does
not extend over adjacent surface units.
7. Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements. Heating
elements should never be immersed in water.
Glass/Ceramic Cooking Surfaces
1. Do Not Cook on Broken Smoothtop module. If
module 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 Smoothtop Module 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 off. The fan,
if operating, may spread the flame.
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.
