Cooking Safety; Induction Cooktop - Jayco SENECA 2023 Owner's Manual

Cooking Safety

In Case Of a Grease Fire
Do not attempt to use water to put out the fire. Water can spread some types of
fire, and electrocution is possible with an electrical fire.
Grease is flammable. Never allow grease to collect around top burners or on the cook top
surface. Wipe up spills immediately. Refer to Section 2 – Safety Precautions, for fire safety
and fire extinguisher information.
Cooking With Propane
See the Propane System section for important safety instructions. Refer to the manufactur-
er's owner's manual for detailed operating and safety instructions for all propane appliances.

Induction Cooktop

Induction cooktops are more efficient than gas or electric cooktops. The cooking surface
heats through magnetic induction. Cookware for induction cooking should be magnetic
(steel or cast iron) and have a flat bottom. Cookware made from aluminum, corning ware,
Pyrex, or glass will not work by just placing them on the surface, but can be used if they are
placed on top of a magnetic interface disk which will function as a conventional hot plate.
Stainless steel cookware may or may not work. If there is a doubt as to whether a certain pan
or skillet will work, check it with a magnet. If the magnet clings to it, it will probably work
with the induction cooktop; if it doesn't or clings weakly it probably won't work.
Aluminum foil should NEVER be used with an induction cooktop. It can
permanently melt to the cooktop cracking the surface or causing permanent
damage.
Touching a hot pan or cooking vessel can cause burns. Use pot holders or oven
mitts to remove hot pans from the cooktop.
Induction cooktops are much safer to use than electric or gas.
The stovetop stays cool, no burned fingers or hands if you touch the surface.
Only the cooking vessel gets hot.
The cooking surface only works when there is a magnetic pan (or interface disk)
in place on it. Sensors detect the amount of ferrous material in the area of the
magnetic field and if it is not the size of a small pan it won't turn on.
Induction cooktops will not heat up the kitchen.
Very rapid temperature increases can be achieved and very fine adjustments can
be made.
Refer to manufacturer's manual for detailed safety, operating and cleaning
instructions.
