IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS RADIANT SURFACE UNITS 1 Use proper pan size - this appliance has different size surface units. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of surface unit heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensils to heating element will also improve efficiency. 2 Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. 3 Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. 4 To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with utensils, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward and does not extend over adjacent surface units. 5 Do not cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately. 6 Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Please see cleaning the glass cooktop section. 7 Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter. 8 When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on. 9 Deep fat fryers - use extreme caution when moving the grease kettle or disposing of hot grease. 10 Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware. 11 Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings. 12 Food 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. 13 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. 14 Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats. 15 Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent heating fat beyond the smoking point. 16 Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing. 17 Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or cooktop can lead to broken or shattered glass. 18 Never use the glass cooktop surface as cutting board. 19 Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. 20 Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
