Important safety information
•
Always heat frying oils slowly, and watch as they heat. If you are frying foods at
high heat, carefully watch during the cooking process. If a combination of fats or
oils is to be used during frying, mix them together before heating.
•
Use a deep-fryer thermometer whenever possible. This prevents overheating the
fryer beyond the smoking point.
•
Use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying or deep-frying. Avoid
cooking unthawed food or food with excessive amounts of ice.
•
Before moving cookware full of fats or oils, make sure it has completely cooled.
•
To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, always allow heated liquids to stand at least
20 seconds after you have turned off the burner so that the temperature in the
liquid can stabilize. In the event of scalding, follow these first aid instructions:
1.
Immerse the scalded area in cool or lukewarm water for at least 10 minutes.
2.
Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.
3.
Cover with a clean, dry cloth.
•
If a power failure occurs or the electric ignition fails to operate, do not use
matches or lighters to ignite the burners. This may cause a fire or physical burns.
•
Do not place and use electric-powered cooking devices such as IH rice cookers
or desktop cooking heaters on top of your cooktop. Electromagnetic forces from
these appliances may cause the cooktop to malfunction.
CAUTION
If the cooktop is installed above an oven, do not use the cooktop while the oven’s
self-cleaning function is on.
Cooktop safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe
the following precautions.
•
Select cookware that is designed for range top cooking. Use cookware that is
large enough to cover the burner grates. Adjust the burner flames so that the
flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• Make sure
all burners are off when not in use.
• Do not use
aluminium foil to line the grates or any part of the cooktop.
• Do not leave
burners unattended on medium or high heat settings.
•
Before igniting,
make sure
all burner caps are properly in place and all burners
are level.
• Always use
the LITE position when igniting the burners and make sure the
burners have ignited. If ignition fails, turn the knob to OFF and wait until the gas
has dissipated.
•
When you set a burner to simmer,
do not turn
the knob quickly. Make sure the
flame stays on.
• Do not place
any objects other than cookware on the cooktop.
•
This cooktop is designed to cook with a wok or wok ring attachment. If foods are
flamed, they should only be flamed under a ventilation hood that is on.
•
Before removing or changing cookware, turn off the burners.
•
Remove food and cookware immediately after cooking.
•
Before removing any parts of the burner for cleaning, make sure the cooktop is
off and completely cool.
•
After cleaning the burner spreader,
make sure
it is completely dry before re-
assembling.
•
To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning,
do not pour
water into the cooktop well
while cleaning.
•
To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning,
do not use
cookware that is substantially larger than the grate.
• Make sure
cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop and
not over other surface burners.
•
Stand away from the cooktop while frying.
