IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
• Use only dry pot holders - moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface elements. Do not use a
towel or any other bulky cloths. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface element.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface element by covering the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering with baking soda or, if
available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Do not heat food directly on the cooktop. If you do heat foods under the hood, turn
the fan on.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on the cooktop.
• Do not touch the 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 come in contact with 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.
• Use proper pan size - Select cookware that has flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface heating element. Proper relationship of cookware to surface element will
improve efficiency.
• Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat settings. Boil overs 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.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
