GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING SURFACES
Stand to the side of the range when opening the oven door. The hot air and steam that
escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
WARNING
y
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS.
y
Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units
may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until
they have had sufficient time to cool. This includes the cooktop and the area above
the oven door.
y
Do not cook on a broken cooktop
. If the cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
y
Clean cooktop with Caution.
Do not use sponges or cloth to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area. Use a proper metal scraper.
y
DO NOT use the glass cooktop
surface as a cutting board.
y
DO NOT place or store
items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even
when it is not being used.
y
Always turn the surface units on after placing cookware.
y
DO NOT store
heavy items above the cooktop surface that could fall and damage it.
y
DO NOT place
aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders, or plastic wrappings or any other material on the range when it is in use.
y
Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.
y
NEVER cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
y
Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on. NEV-
ER leave surface units unattended at high heat setting. Proper contact of uten-
sil to burner will also improve efficiency.
-
Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
y
Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
y
DO NOT use plastic wrap to cover food.
-
Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.
y
DO NOT touch surface units until it has cooled down.
y
The surface elements may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled down sufficiently.
y
Immediately clean the spills on cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
y
If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking surface, limit it to items that are
infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Tempera-
tures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
y
When warming foods do not use containers that seal. Allow venting for heated air to
escape.
y
Some cleaners can produce dangerous fumes if applied to a hot surface.
y
DO NOT use a steel-wool pad.
