IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

•Do not clean the cooktop with flammable or volatile cleaning fluids.

•Do not clean the cooktop when the appliance is in use.

•Avoid scratching the cooktop with shal_ instruments, or with rings and other jewelry

•Never use the cooktop as a cutting board.

•Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool

before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.

•Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if

brought in contact with flame or hot surfaces and may cause severe burns.

•For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

_0 • Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan.

Turn the controls off Smother a

flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out

by covering it with baking soda or. if available. by using a multi-pul_ose dry chemical or foam- type fire extinguisher.

•Do not store flammable materials near the

cooktop. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

'_• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in

or near the cooktop.

•Never leave surface burners un attended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire

•Adjust surface burner flame size so it does

not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous

•Use only dry pot holders--

moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from

steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.

•To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or center of the cooktop without extending over adjacent burner or vent area

•Alwavs turn the surface burners to off before removing the cookware.

•Carefully watch foods being fried at high flame setting.

•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 least possible amount of 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.

•Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

•Use proper pan size--Avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers, and large enough to cover burner grate. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food. since heavy spattering or spillovers left on cooktop can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

•Do not place hot cookware on the glass cooktop. This could cause glass to break.

•Keep all plastics away from burners.

•To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls for all burners are at

the off position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove a grate.

•If the cooktop is located near a window, do not use long curtains which could bloW over the burners and create a fire hazard

•If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.
