Surface Cooking Units
●
Use proper pan size—This appliance is equipped
with different size surface units. 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 the cookware to
—
the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
●
Be sure the drip pans and vent ducts are not
covered and are in place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range parts and wiring.
●
Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans
or anywhere in the oven except as described in
this guide. Misuse could result in a shock,
hazard or damage to the range.
●
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.
●
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings
on or near your range.
●
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for range-top service; 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 range without extending over nearby
surface units.
Always turn the surface units to OFF before
removing cookware.
●
Keep an eye on foods being fried at HI or
Medium High
To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric
shock, always be certain that the controls for
surface units are at the OFF position and
all coils are cool before attempting to lift or
remove a unit.
●
Do not immerse or soak the removable surface
units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
●
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
●
When 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.
●
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use deep fat thermometer whenever possible to
prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
