Important Safety Instructions

Surface Cooking Units

• Use proper pan size—This appliance is

equipped with different size surface units.

Select cookware having flat bottoms large

enough to cover the surface unit heating

element. The use of undersized cookware will

expose a portion of the surface unit to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of the cookware to the

surface unit will also improve efficiency.

• Never leave the surface units unattended at

high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and

greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

• Be sure the drip pans and vent ducts are not

covered and are in place. Their absence during

cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans

or anywhere in the oven except as described in

this guide. Misuse could result in a shock, fire

hazard or damage to the range.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are

suitable for range-top cooking; others may

break because of the sudden change in

temperature.

• Always turn the surface unit controls off before

removing the cookware.

• 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

surface units.

• To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric

shock, always be certain that the controls for all

surface units are at the off position and all surface

units are cool before attempting to lift or remove

the unit.

• Never clean the cooktop surface when it

is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes

and wet cloths could cause steam burns if used

on a hot surface.

• Do not immerse or soak the removable

surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.

• When flaming foods are under the hood,

turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread

the flame.

• Carefully watch for spillovers or overheating

of foods when frying at high or medium high

temperatures.

• 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.

• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
