(continued)
Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat
frying. Filling the pan too fill 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.
Be sure the downdraft vent grille is not covered.
Be sure the filter is in place. Its absence during
cooking could damage blower parts.
Do not cover or block the area around the
cooktop system knobs. This area must be
kept clear for proper ventilation and burner
performance.
. Keep all plastics away from cooktop surface
units and burners.
Donot operate the halogenkadiant 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, rings or other jewelry and
rivets on clothing.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.

. Be carefid when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface

Cleaning Creme brand cleaner to clean the
Cooktop.
QDo not use a wok on the gas burners if the wok
has a round metal ring which is placed over the
burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts
as a heat trap that may damage the burner grate
and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to
work improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by current
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
. If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop
at the gas cutoff valve and call a qualified
service technician. Never use an open flame to
locate a leak.
. Do not operate the gas burners without all
burner parts and grate in place.
Let the gas burner grate and other surfaces
cool before touching them.
Do not leave grate removed from any
component where children can reach them.
Never leave gas burners unattended at high
flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
For your safety, never use your gas burners for
warming or heating the room. Prolonged use of
the cooktop in this way can be hazardous.
To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply Cook Top Cleaning Creme
