Avoid storing commonly used items in cabinets above the range and be careful when reaching over the range . Clothing in close proximity to burners or hot surfaces may ignite causing severe burns . ■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the cooktop . Grease on the cooktop may ignite . ■ Clean ventilating hoods frequently . Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter .

Foods, especially oily foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding cabinets . ■ Never leave oil unattended while frying . If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets . Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature . ■ To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice . ■ Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped . Select cookware that is matched to the size of the burner . Burner flames should be adjusted so that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan . Excessive flame may be hazardous . ■ Always use the LITE position when igniting the burners and make sure the burners have ignited . ■ When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of sudden change in temperature . ■ 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 range without extending over nearby burners . ■ When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the fan on . ■ Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring . the ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard . ■ Do not attempt to lift the cooktop .
