[ WARNING JCOOKTOPSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
splllovers that may catch on fire.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed
to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite,
resulting in tire that may spread to surrounding
cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of
oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen
foods with excesswe amounts of ice.
iiiiiiiiii[_iii Only certain
types
of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop
service; others may break because of the sudden
change in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a.
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby surface units.
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the
fan on.
Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface Heating
element. The use of undersized cookware will expose
a portion at the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
