Cooktop safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death:
• Select cookware that is designed for cooktops and is large enough to cover the
grates. Burner flames should not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• Turn off all burners that are not in use.
• Do not line the grates or any part of the cooktop with aluminum foil.
• Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high heat settings.
• Before igniting, ensure all burner caps are properly seated and all burners are level.
• Use the LITE (flame icon) position to ignite a burner, then verify the burner did ignite.
If ignition fails, turn the burner OFF, and wait a few minutes for the gas to dissipate.
• When you set a burner to simmer, turn the knob slowly. Ensure the flame stays on.
• Place only cookware on the cooktop.
• Foods should only be flamed under an active ventilation hood.
• Turn off a burner before removing the cookware.
• Remove cookware immediately after cooking.
• Ensure all cooktop burners are off and all surfaces have cooled before removing the
grates and disassembling the burners.
• After cleaning the burner spreader, dry it completely before re-assembling it.
• Do not pour water or other liquids into the cooktop during cleaning.
• Do not use cookware that is substantially larger than the grate.
• Turn cookware handles away from active burners and the cooktop front edge.
• Stand at a safe distance from the cookware when frying.
• Heat frying oil slowly, and monitor the oil as it heats. For high-heat frying, do not
leave the oil unattended.
• If combining fats or oils for frying, mix them before heating.
• Use a deep-fry thermometer when possible to avoid heating the oil beyond its smoke
point. (Know the smoke point of the oil you use.)
• Use minimal oil when frying. Thaw food before frying, and do not fry food that is
overly cold or that is clumped with ice.
