Instructions Safety Information

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

SURFACE UNITS–ALL MODELS

Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

Customer Service Troubleshooting Tips Installation Instructions Operating

Never leave the surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

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.

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.

10

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units.

Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

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

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

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.
