Important Safety Instructions
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan, grid and other cookware.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
Cooktop and Radiant Surface Units
• Use proper pan size—Select
cookware having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the selected surface
unit heating element. The use of undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to
surface units will also improve efficiency.
• 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 cleansers can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
When the cooktop is cool, use only Cook Top
Cleaning Creme brand cleaner 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.
• Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may
damage the cooktop and the pan.
• Do not allow water, other liquids or grease to
remain on the cooktop or the control panel.
• 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 surface. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such as
sharp instruments, or rings or other jewelry and
rivets on clothing.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
• Do not place or store items on top of the glass
cooktop surface when it is not in use.
• Do not stand on the glass cooktop. The weight
may cause the top to break.
• Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on the 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 unit controls to off
before removing cookware.
• Carefully watch for spillovers or overheating
of foods when frying at high or medium high
temperatures.
• 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.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply Cook Top Cleaning Creme
to the glass surface when it is hot.
• After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to
remove all Cook Top Cleaning Creme residue.
• Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on Cook Top Cleaning Creme labels.
