SURFACE COOKING UNITS

Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

Do not operate the cooktop when there is no cookware. If the cooktop operates without a cookware, the control knob will become hot.

Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.

Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.

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.

Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different sizes. 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.

Glazed cooking utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Utensil handles should be turned outward and not extend over adjacent surface units. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned outward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream labels.

Be sure you know which control knob operates each surface unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
