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. s Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop. s 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. s Always turn the surface element control to off before removing the cookware. s Use proper pan size-select cookware having 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. s Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. s 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. s Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium-high heat settings. s 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. s Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added. s If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly. s Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. s Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point. s Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer.
