IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3
PREPARED FOOD WARNING:
Follow food manufacturer’s
instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover
distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking,
immediately discard the food and its container. The food
could be contaminated.
UTENSIL SAFETY
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface elements of different sizes. Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
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 element
will also improve efficiency.
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily
grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily
tipped or loose handled pans. Pans that are heavy to move
when filled with food may also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and
avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat
frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that
is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do not
extend handles over
adjacent
surface
elements. Always turn
pan handles toward the
side or back of the
appliance, not out into
the room where they
are
easily
hit
or
reached
by
small
children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and
the appliance
.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware or glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop
usage without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using
conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or
accessories that are not specifically recommended in this
manual. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units or
stove top grills. The use of devices or accessories that are
not expressly recommended in this manual can create
serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and
reduce the life of the components of the appliance.
CLEANING SAFETY
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before
touching or cleaning them. Clean appliance with caution. Use
care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Do not soak or immerse removable heating elements in
water. Immersing element in water would damage element
and insulating material inside element.
Do not use aluminum foil or foil liners to line drip bowls.
Improper use of these liners may result in a risk of electric
shock, or fire and may cause oven to overheat. Use foil only
as recommended in this booklet.
