To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in a steam burn. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth which could easily touch hot heating elements and ignite. Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed. This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this manual. Do not use eyelid covers or stove top grills. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of this appliance. NEVER use aluminum foil or foil containers on the cooktop. These may become very hot. Use foil only as directed in this guide. Aerosol-type cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Do not use or store near appliance. Clean only parts listed in this guide and use procedures recommended. COOKTOP NEVER leave surface units unattended especially when using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire. This appliance is equipped with different size surface elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to cover element. Fitting pan size to element will improve cooking efficiency. If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or potholder. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow utensil manufacturer's instructions when using glass. Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into the room or over another surface element. This reduces the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage if pan is accidently bumped or reached by small children. GLASS-CERAMIC COOKTOP NEVER 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. Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or paper towel is used on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Never stand on the cooktop. DEEP FAT FRYING Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to move pan. HEATING ELEMENTS NEVER touch surface elements or areas near elements. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface elements may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or areas near elements until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other potentially hot surfaces include: Cooktop and areas facing the cooktop. 2
