Cookware Safety (cont.)
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over
adjacent surface burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or
back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or
reached by small children.
NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the
appliance.
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed cookware
are suitable for cooktop surface without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Follow manufacturer's instructions when
using glass.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional
cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not
specifically recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for
the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems.
The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended
in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance
problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.
The flame of the burner should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of
the pan or pot. Excessive burner setting may cause scorching of
adjacent counter-top surfaces, as well as the outside of the cookware.
This is based on safety considerations.
Cleaning Safety
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching
or cleaning them. DO NOT touch the burners or surrounding areas until
they have had sufficient time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Important notice regarding pet birds:
NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the
kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated
non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.
