Safety Practices & Precautions

Be certain to use only dry pot holders; moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burn injury from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot burners, or burner grates.

For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Using a foil liner could result in a fire hazard.

WARNING:

This appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room.

WARNING:

When using the cooktop: Do not touch the burner grates or the immediate surrounding area. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.

Never leave the cooktop unattended when using high flame settings. A possible boil over could cause smoking or greasy spill overs may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered by a severe boil over which effects the igniter, the unburned gas will escape into the room, which would be extremely dangerous.

Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for use on the open flame of the cooktop. Utensils that are not thermally heat safe may break with sudden temperature changes.

Do not heat unopened food containers; a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst.

During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats at the bottom of the pan and does not curl around the bottom edges of the pan. This could heat and/or melt the handles.

Always use utensils that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and accidental spill overs, position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the outside edges of the cooktop.

Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.

Grease is flammable. Do not use water on grease fires. Turn OFF the burner, then smother the fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect around the base of the cooktop burners. Clean after each use or boil over.

Use splatter screens over pans when frying foods to minimize possible grease burns. Be sure not to use a flame that is too high.

For proper lighting and performance of the cooktop burners, keep the burner ports clean. It may be necessary to clean these when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light, even though the electronic igniters click.

Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.
