IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
▶ Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
▶ Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when nec-
essary.
To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no
▶
more than a low-medium setting.
▶ Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.
Wait until it is cool.
Spills of hot food may cause burns.
▶ Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food.
This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS. Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns.
▶ During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing,
potholders, or other flammable materials contact sur-
face units or areas near units until they have had suffi-
cient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop
and areas facing the cooktop.
WARNING - DO NOT PLACE METALLIC OBJECTS
SUCH AS KNIVES, FORKS, SPOONS, AND LIDS ON
THE COOKTOP SURFACE SINCE THEY CAN GET
HOT.
Clean Cooktop With Caution.
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
▶
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.

a hot surface.
