Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate on 
the cooktop.

Do not touch surface units. These surfaces
may be hot enough to burn even though
they are dark in color. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact the surface
units or areas nearby the surface units; allow
sufficient time for cooling first. 

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop
and areas facing the cooktop.

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 cooktop without
extending over any nearby surface units.

Always turn the surface unit control to off
before removing the cookware.

Use proper pan size—Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit 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 burner will 
also improve efficiency.

Never leave surface units unattended at high
heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop cooking; others may
break because of the sudden change in
temperature.

Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.

Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used 
in frying, stir together before heating, or as
fats melt slowly.

Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever 
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.

Never try to move a pan of hot fat,
especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the 
fat is cool.

Do not store flammable materials near 
the cooktop.

Keep the vent grille and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.

Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any appliance.

Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.

Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food on the cooktop when not 
in use.

Keep cooktop clean and free of
accumulation of grease or spillovers 
which may ignite.

Never heat unopened food containers. 
Pressure buildup may make container 
burst and cause injury.

Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings 
on or near your cooktop.
