SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To minimize the possibility of burns, always
be certain that the controls for all surface
units are at the off position and the entire
glass surface is cool before attempting to
clean the cooktop.
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your cooktop. They may become hot and
could cause burns.
• Never heat unopened food containers.
Pressure buildup may make container burst
and cause injury.
• Teach children not to play with controls or
any other part of the cooktop.
• Always turn the surface unit controls off
before removing the 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.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• 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.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or
near your cooktop.
• 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.
