IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using your cooktop
! |
•Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot cooking areas.
•This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Always use utensils that have flat bottoms and that are large enough to cover the whole cooking area. The use of a utensil smaller than the size of the cooking area will expose a portion of the heated area to direct contact with the user which could result in burns. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
•Turn handles of utensils inward so that they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the cooktop. This will help prevent hot food spills, risk of burns and ignition of flammable materials, and preventing access by children.
•The cooktop is for cooking. Never use it to warm or heat a room.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified servicer in accordance with the Installation Instructions provided with the cooktop.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified servicer.
•Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for the type and amount of food being prepared.
•Do not place any hot cookware on the control panel area.
•Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. Use low to medium settings to heat oil slowly.
•Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
•Never leave the cooktop unattended when using high heat settings. Boilovers can cause smoke and possibly damage the cooktop.
•Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.
•Other than the use of metal pans,only certain types of glass, heatproof glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop use.These types of utensils may break with sudden temperature changes.Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.
•Clean the cooktop with caution. If the soil must be removed while the cooktop is hot, clean the hot top with the metal razor blade scraper only. Do not use a wet sponge or cloth while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
•Clean the ventilation system above or behind the cooktop frequently so that grease from the cooking vapors does not accumulate on the filters, fan, intake, or hood.
•For people who wear electronic implants such as a pacemaker or insulin pump, it is possible that some implants may be affected by magnetic fields. You should not carry the control knob (mTwisT dial) in your pockets. The control knob is highly magnetic and persons wearing electronic implants should keep the control knob at least four inches from the implant.
