IA WARNING j IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING
STEPSTO PREVENT THE FIRE FROM SPREADING:
[] Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
IA WARNING 1RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
[] Never leave the surface units unattended at medium
or high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
[] Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed
to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding
cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.
[] To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum
amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid
cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
[] Use proper pan size--select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
heating element. The use of undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the surface
unit to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to
surface unit will also improve efficiency.
[] Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature.
[] To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby surface units.
[] When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn
the fan on.
[] Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass
surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
[] Avoid scratching or impacting the glass cooktop.
Doing so may lead to broken glass. The cooktop
can be scratched with items such as knives,
sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and
rivets on clothing.
[] Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
[] Do not place or store items that can melt or catch
fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not
being used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned
on, they may ignite. Heat from the cooktop after it
is turned off may cause them to ignite also.
[] Use CERAMA BRYTE ® ceramic Cooktop Cleaner
and CERAMA BRYTE ® Cleaning Pad to clean
the cooktop. Wait until the cooktop cools and
the indicator light goes out before cleaning. A
wet sponge or cloth on a hot surface can cause
steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: Sugar spills are an exception. They
should be scraped off while still hot using an
oven mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning the
glass cooktop section for detailed instructions.
[] Read and follow all instructions and warnings on
the cleaning cream label.
