Safety Instructions

 

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

RADIANT SURFACE UNITS

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.

Tips

 

 

 

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

n 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.

n 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.

n Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

n Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

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

n 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.

n Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

n If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

n Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

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

n Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent.

n Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers,

which may cause them to burst.
