Important Safety Instructions
Cooktop and Radiant Surface Units
• Use proper pan size—Select
cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the selected
surface unit. 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 the cookware to the surface
unit will also improve efficiency.
• Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Do not operate the radiant surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and
create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately should your
glass cooktop become broken.
• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop.
The cooktop can be scratched with items
such as sharp instruments, rings or other
jewelry and rivets on clothing.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
• Do not place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when
it is not being used.
• Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause burns.
• 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.
• Always turn the surface units off before
removing the cookware.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
• When flaming foods are under the hood, turn
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread
the flame.
• 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.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping
any surface unit areas until they have cooled and
the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are
the exception to this. Please see the Glass
Cooktop Cleaning section.
When the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream to clean the
cooktop.
• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass
surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
• To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply the cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.
• After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to
remove all the cleaning cream residue.
• Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on the cleaning cream labels.
