Important safety instructions
earthware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
4To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with utensils, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
5Do not cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
6Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Please see cleaning the glass cooktop section.
7Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
8When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
9Deep fat fryers - use extreme caution when moving the grease kettle or disposing of hot grease.
10Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
11Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
12Food 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.
13Use 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.
14Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.
15Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent heating fat beyond the smoking point.
16Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.
17Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or cooktop can lead to broken or shattered glass.
18Never use the glass cooktop surface as cutting board.
19Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.
20Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
