Cooking Safety
• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface element before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface element. Make
sure the correct element is turned on. When cooking is completed, turn element o before removing pan.
• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended, especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boil overs
cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended
cooking operations.
• NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface element. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious
personal injury or damage to the appliance.
• Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used
as pot holders because they can trail across hot surface elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle.
• DO NOT let cooking grease or other ammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood, or vent fan. Clean hood
frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or lter. When aming foods under the hood, turn the fan o .
• NEVER wear garments made of ammable material or loose tting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or
catch on cookware handles.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts,
warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The food could be contaminated.
• If you are “ aming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the ames to spread out of
control.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Use pans with at bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-
handled pans. Pans with heavy handles (especially small pans) could be unstable and tip easily. Pans that are heavy to move when
lled with food may also be hazardous.
• Be sure cookware is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boil overs. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying.
Pan should accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.
• To minimize burns, ignition of ammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, DO NOT extend
handles over adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room
where they are easily hit or reached by children.
• NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the cookware and the appliance.
• This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are
not speci cally recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface units. 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 the appliance.
• Use proper pan material. Refer to “Before Using Cooktop” section for recommended cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to
surface unit will also improve e ciency.
