SURFACE UNITS-ALL MODELS
• Never leave the surface units unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smok-
ing and greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for cooktop service, others
may break because of the sudden change
in temperature.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, the
handle of a container should be turned to-
ward the center of the range without ex-
tending over nearby surface units.
• Always turn the surface units off before re-
moving cookware.
• Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you
do flame foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high
or medium high heat settings.
Use proper pan size-select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface
unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware
to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as pos-
sible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on
fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up
and over the side of the pan.
• 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 before heating, as
fats melt slowly.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it
heats.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
