Important 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.
• Only the grill grate and the griddle accessory
plate may be placed over the grill heating element.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, the
cookware handles should be turned toward the
center of the cooktop without extending over the
nearby surface units.
• Keep the tub, the reflector pan, the grill grate
and the grease collector jar clean. Be sure the
drain hole in tub is open. If clogged, a fire can
occur. Empty the grease jars frequently.
• Do not immerse or soak the removable coil
surface unit module, the solid disk module,
the radiant module or the grill heating element.
Do not put them in a dishwasher.
Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
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.
• To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply Cook Top Cleaning Creme
to the glass surface when it is hot (on radiant
modules only).
• After cleaning, use a damp cloth or paper towel
to remove all Cook Top Cleaning Creme residue
(on radiant modules only).
• Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on Cook Top Cleaning Creme labels (on radiant
modules only).
• Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain
heat after the controls have been turned off
(on radiant modules only).
• Do not operate the radiant surface units if the
glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk
of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately should your glass cooktop become
broken (on radiant modules only).
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop surface.
The cooktop can be scratched with sharp
instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets
on clothing (on radiant modules only).
• Do not stand on the glass cooktop.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting
board (on radiant modules only).
• Do not place or store items on top of the
glass cooktop surface when it is not in use
(on radiant modules only).
• Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause burns (on radiant modules only).
• 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 remove a coil
surface unit or a module.
• Never leave the kitchen while using the grill
or griddle accessory.
• Do not replace the grease collector jar with a
mayonnaise jar which could break when hot
grease drips into it. Replace with any wide mouth
canning jar.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
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.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to
prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
• To control flame-ups,
turn down the heat setting to
low rather than off. This keeps the downdraft vent
blower on. Or, turn the vent blower to on, then turn
the grill off. Use a long-handled utensil to carefully
remove the food from the grill. These steps should
control the flame until it eventually goes out. If it
does not, cover the entire grill module with a cookie
sheet or the lid from a large roasting pan. Use a pot
holder to remove this later because it will be hot.
• NEVER USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE.
