~
Make certain that the power cords of
small appliances do not come in
contact with the appliance. The
insulation of the cable could become
damaged. Danger of electric shock!
~
Be careful not to drop anything on
the ceramic surface of the combiset.
Even lightweight objects may cause
damage.
~
Use the proper pan size. Select
cookware with flat bottoms large
enough to cover the heating element.
Using undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the heating element and
may result in ignition of clothing or
handles becoming hot. The proper size
pot or pan will also improve efficiency.
~
Pot and pan handles should be
turned inward and not extend over the
countertop to reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and
spills.
~
Do not use pots or pans with
pronounced edges or ridges on the
ceramic combiset. These could scratch
the combiset permanently. See
"Selecting cookware" for more
information. Grains of salt and sand can
cause scratches. Make sure that the
bases of any pots and pans are clean,
free of any fat or oils and are dry.
~
To prevent damage to the combiset
do not use pots and pans with thin
bases on the combiset. Never heat an
empty pan unless the pan manufacturer
states that you can do so.
~
Before using glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
cookware verify that they can be used
on a cooking surface.
~
To prevent burns and breathing
difficulty, allow the combiset to cool
before cleaning. Some cleaners may
produce toxic fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
~
Keep the combiset clean. Salt,
sugar, and grit can cause scratches.
~
When wiping spills on a hot
combiset with a wet sponge or cloth, be
careful to avoid steam burns.
~
Do not let flammable materials,
i.e. cooking grease, accumulate on the
appliance.
~
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. Steam could penetrate
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
~
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, pieces of plastic or foil to fall on
the burners when they are hot. If these
residues are allowed to cool on the
ceramic surface pitting or even
cracking may occur.
~
Any spills should be removed as
quickly as possible to prevent them
from burning on and becoming difficult
to remove.
