Use only dry potholders.
Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch the heating elements on the appliance. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth in place of a potholder.
Do 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 an authorized service center or
KENYON Customer Care immediately at (860) 664-4906.
Clean cooktop with caution.
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking surface, be careful to avoid
steam burns. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Read the
cleaner label for details prior to using.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS
The heating elements on the cooktop may be hot even if they are dark in color. These
areas may be hot enough to cause burns. Never touch heating elements until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Likewise, never allow clothing or flammable materials
to come in contact with heating elements or cooktop surfaces until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns.
Use proper pan size.
This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner
will also improve efficiency.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings.
Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface
Units.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
Do not discard these instructions, keep them with the KENYON cooktop for future
reference.
