IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

Using Your Cooktop

•Do not leave children alone or unattended where a cooktop is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.

•CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a cooktop— children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

•Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.

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

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

•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. Prolonged use of the cooktop in this way can be hazardous.

• 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-purpose 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 unattended 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.

•Always 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.
