Frigidaire Dishwasher Use & Care Manual page 23

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
(some models)
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass
■
surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
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.
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can
■
be scratched with items such as knives, sharp
instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on
clothing.
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 or oven vent after it is
turned off may cause them to ignite also.
WARNING
(some models)
Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units.
■
Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-clean the
surface units in an oven. Doing so may cause them to
fail, presenting a burn or fire hazard.
To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock,
■
always be certain that the controls for all surface units
are at the OFF position and all coils are cool before
attempting to lift or remove a coil surface unit.

COOkTOP SAFETY INSTRuCTIONS
RADIANT COOkTOP SAFETY INSTRuCTIONS
COIl COOkTOP SAFETY INSTRuCTIONS
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 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.
Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in
■
place. Their absence during cooking could damage
range parts and wiring.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans. Foil can
■
trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and
a shock or fire hazard.
