SURFACE COOKING UNITS
[_ ever leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the
range.
Do not operate the cooktop when there is no cookware. If the cooktop operates without a
cookware, the control knob will become hot.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after
the controls have been turned off.
Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
Glazed cooking utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
Utensil handles should be turned outward and not extend over adjacent surface units. To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned outward, and does
not extend over adjacent surface units.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
Be sure you know which control knob operates each surface unit. Make sure you turned on the
correct surface unit.
Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
