Important safety instruction
•
Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain
heat after the controls have been turned off.
•
Use proper pan sizes.
This appliance is equipped with surface units of different
size. Select pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface area of the heating element. Using undersized cookware will expose a
portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in the ignition
of clothing. Matching the size of the pot or pan to the burner will also improve
efficiency.
•
Cookware Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Units
– To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage due to unintentional contact with cookware, position cookware handles
so that they are turned inward and do not extend over adjacent surface units.
•
Glazed cookware.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed cookware can be used for rangetop service
without breaking due to sudden changes in temperature.
• Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-
frying and avoid cooking frozen foods that have excessive amounts of ice.
•
Do not operate the cooktop without cookware.
If the cooktop operates without
cookware, the control knobs will become hot.
• Do not move the container and bowl in a horizontal position on cooktop surface.
•
Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the glass cooktop
surface when it is in use.
They may become hot and could cause burns.
•
Cleaning.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream
labels.
• Be sure you know which control knob operates each surface unit. Make sure you
have turned on the correct surface unit.
• When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
•
Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface that could fall and damage
it.
•
Do not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers
– If an element is accidentally
turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will
occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.
• Appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or
separate remote-control system.
