IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Never leave the surface units unattended at
medium or high heat settings. 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.
Use proper pan
size―select
cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface 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 cookware to surface unit
will also improve efficiency.
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.
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.
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.
Use CERAMA BRYTE
®
ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and
CERAMA BRYTE
®
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.
