WARNING
• Use only dry pot holders when removing food and
cookware from the cooktop. Wet pot holders can
cause steam burns.
• Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before
lighting a burner.
• When deep fat frying:
◊ Be certain that the pan is large enough to contain
the desired volume of food without overflow
caused by the bubbling of the fat. Never leave a
deep fat fryer unattended.
◊ Avoid frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods
with high water content may cause spattering or
spilling of the hot fat.
◊ Heat fat slowly, and stir together any combination
of oils and fats prior to applying heat. Use a deep
fat frying thermometer to avoid heating the fat to
temperatures above the flash point.
• Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.
• This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for your protection against possible
electric shock hazards. If only a two-prong outlet is
available, it is the customer's responsibility to have
it replaced with a dedicated, grounded three-prong
electrical outlet by a licensed electrician. Under any
circumstances:
◊ DO NOT cut or remove the third (ground) prong
from the power cord.
◊ DO NOT use an adapter plug.
◊ DO NOT use an extension cord.
◊ DO NOT use a power cord that is frayed or
damaged.
◊ DO NOT plug the cooktop into an electrical outlet
equipped with a ground fault interrupter (GFI).
