• In the event of a fire, do not use water or grease on fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn
the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a
well-fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or a foam-type fire
extinguisher.
• Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or high heat settings. Boilover cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• 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 spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid
cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
• Use the proper pan size-select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface 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 cookware to
surface unit will also improve efficiency.
• 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.
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.
• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after
the controls have been turned off.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the glass cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as knives,
sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is
not being used. lf the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite. Heat from the cooktop
or oven vent after it is turned off may cause them to ignite also.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided,
the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5
inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
• Storage in or on Appliance – Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near
surface units.
• Use proper pan size – this appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different
size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
