■
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for cooktop cooking; others
may break because of the sudden change
in temperature.
■
Never clean the cooktop surface when it
is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes and wet cloths could cause steam
burns if used on a hot surface.
■
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.
■
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.
■
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
■
Never try to move a pan of hot fat,
especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until
the fat is cool.
■
Do not store flammable materials near
the cooktop.
■
Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.
■
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any
appliance.
■
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
■
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food on the cooktop when not
in use.
■
Keep cooktop clean and free of
accumulation of grease or spillovers which
may ignite.
■
Never heat unopened food containers.
Pressure buildup may make container
burst and cause injury.
■
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on
or near your cooktop.
