IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

●

high heat settings. 

 cause smoking and

greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

● 

Use proper pan size— Select cookware having

 bottoms large enough to cover the surface

unit’s heating area. The use 

 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. See the

Cookware Tips section of the guide.

 Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

● 

Only” certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop surface; others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature.

● 

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 cooktop without extending over nearby
surface units.

● 

Always keep combustible wall coverings,

curtains or drapes a safe distance away from
your cooktop.

● 

Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot

holders and other linens a safe distance away
from your cooktop.

● 

Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils

or food on the cooktop when not in use.

● 

Avoid scratching the glass cooktop.

The cooktop can be scratched with items

such as sharp instruments, rings or other

jewelry and rivets on clothing.

● 

Never use the glass cooktop surface as a

cutting board.

● 

Do not place or store items on top of the glass

cooktop surface when it is not in use.

● 

Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring

utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use.
They may become hot and could cause bums.

 Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may

damage the cooktop and the pan.

● 

Do not allow water, other liquids or grease

to remain on the cooktop or control panel.

● 

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

● 

Clean only parts listed in this guide.

● 

 not stand on the glass cooktop.

● 

Keep cooktop clean and free of accumulation

of grease or spillovers which may ignite.

● 

To minimize the possibility of burns, always be

certain that the controls for all surface units are at
the off position and the entire glass surface is cool
before attempting to clean the cooktop.

● 

Always keep wooden and plastic utensils

and canned food  a safe distance away from
your cooktop. They may become hot and could
cause burns.

● 

N-ever heat unopened food containers.

Pressure buildup may make container burst
and cause injury.

● 

Teach children not to play with controls or any

other part of the cooktop.

 Always turn the surface units off before

removing the cookware.

● 

Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or

medium high heats.

 flaming  foods are under the hood, turn —

the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread
the flame.

● 

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 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.

● 

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to

prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

● 

Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or

near your cooktop.

● 

To avoid possible damage to the cooking

surface, do not apply Cook Top Cleaning Creme
to the glass surface when it is hot.

● 

After cleaning,  use a dry cloth or paper towel to

remove all Cook Top Cleaning Creme residue.

● 

Read and follow all instructions and warnings

on Cook Top Cleaning Creme labels.
