Cooktop Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High
Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop
service without breaking due to the sudden change
in temperature.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials,
and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not extend
over adjacent surface units.
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk
of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
• Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
For units with ventilating hood –
• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
