potholder touch the heating elements on the appliance. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth in place of a potholder.
•
Do not cook on a broken cooktop.
If your cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Immediately contact
an authorized service center or call the SUMMIT Customer Service at 1-800-
932-4267.
•
Clean cooktop with caution.
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking surface, be
careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface. Read the cleaner label for details prior to use.
•
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS.
The heating elements on the cooktop may be hot even if they are dark in
color. These areas may be hot enough to cause burns. Never touch heating
elements until they have had sufficient time to cool. Likewise, never allow
clothing or flammable materials to come in contact with heating elements or
the cooktop surface until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
•
Use proper pan size.
This appliance is equipped with four surface units, each with a diameter of
6.5". Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of
the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
•
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings.
Boil-over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
•
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent
surface units.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due
to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
•
Glazed cooking utensils
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to
sudden changes in temperature.
