When using
the cooktop
l
Make sure the utensils you use are
large enough to contain food and avoid
boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splatter-
ing or spillovers left on a cooktop could
ignite and burn you. Pan size is espe-
cially important in deep fat frying.
l
Check to be sure glass cooking utensils
are safe for use on the cooktop. Only
certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktops
without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
l
Never leave surface burners unat-
tended at high heat settings. A boilover
could result and cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that could ignite.
l
Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface burners. This will help
reduce the chance of burns, igniting of
flammable materials, and spills due to
bumping of the pan.
l
Do not use decorative covers or trivets
over the surface burners.
Grease
l
Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop. Wipe
spillovers immediately.
l
Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan by covering with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming grease
outside of pan can be extinguished with
baking soda or, if available, a multipur-
pose dry chemical or foam-type extin-
guisher.
Care and cleaning
l
Do not repair or replace any part of the
cooktop unless specifically recom-
mended in this manual. All other servic-
ing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
l
Any additions, changes, or conversions
required in order for'this appliance to
satisfactorily meet the application
needs must be made by an authorized
Whirlpool service technician or Qualified
Agency.
l
Disconnect the electrical supply and the
gas supply at the shutoff valve near the
cooktop before servicing the cooktop.
