Do not touch surface elements. These surfaces

may be hot enough to burn even though they

are dark in color. During and after use, do not

touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials

contact the surface elements or areas nearby the

surface elements; allow sufficient time for cooling

first.

„

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and

areas facing the cooktop.

„

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a

container should be turned toward the center of

the cooktop without extending over any nearby

surface elements.

„

Always turn the surface element control to off

before removing the cookware.

flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface

element heating element. The use of undersized

cookware will expose a portion of the surface

element to direct contact and may result in

ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of

cookware to surface element will also improve

efficiency.

„

Never leave surface elements unattended at high

heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may catch on fire.

„

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are

suitable for cooktop cooking; others may break

because of the sudden change in temperature.

„

Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or

medium-high heat settings.

„

Foods 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.

„

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, or 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.

„

Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a

deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

„

Do not store flammable materials near the

cooktop.

„

Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain

good venting and to avoid grease fires.

„

Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in

the vicinity of this or any appliance.

„

Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

„

Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or

food on the cooktop when not in use.

„

Keep cooktop clean and free of accumulation of

grease or spillovers which may ignite.

„

Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure

buildup may make container burst and cause

injury.

„

Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or

near your cooktop.

„

Never use your appliance for warming or heating

the room.
