IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
GLASS COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass
surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
■ Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop
can be scratched with items such as knives, sharp
instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on
clothing.
■ Use ceramic cooktop cleaner and non-scratch
cleaning pad to clean the cooktop. Wait until the
cooktop cools and the indicator light goes out before
cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on a hot surface can
cause steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE:
Sugar spills are an exception. They should be
scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and a
scraper. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section
for detailed instructions.
■ Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the
cleaning cream label.
■ Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire
on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.
If the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may
ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it is
turned off may cause them to ignite also.
■ Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks,
spoons and lids on the cooktop surface since they
can get hot.
WARNING
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
NEVER Operate the
Top Surface Cooking Section of this
Appliance Unattended.
•
Failure to follow this warning
statement could result in fire,
explosion, or burn hazard that could
cause property damage, personal
injury, or death.
•
If a fire should occur, keep away from
the appliance and immediately call
your fire department.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EXTINGUISH
AN OIL/GREASE FIRE WITH WATER.
■ Never leave the surface units unattended. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire.
■ Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use
a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor
oil temperature.
■ To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount
of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking
frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
■ Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable
for cooktop 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.
■ When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the
fan on.
