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.

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.
