WARNING j SURFACECOOKING INSTRUCTIONS(some m odels)
Use proper pun size--select cookwure huving flut bottoms lurge enough to cover the surfuce unit heoting element.
The use of undersized cookwure will expose u portion of the surfoce unit to direct contuct ond muy result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relotionship of cookwure to surfoce unit will olso improve efficiency.
Never leave the surface units unattended at high heat
settings. Boiloverscause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may catch on fire.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans. Foil can
trap heat or melt resulting in damage to the product
and a shock or fire hazard.
Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not covered
and are in place. Their absence during cooking could
damage range parts and wiring.
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.
Always turn the surface units off before removing
cookware.
Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units.
Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-clean the
surface units in the oven.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame
foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock,
always be certain that the controls for all surface units
are at the OFF position and all coils are cool before
attempting to lift or remove a unit.
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge is used
to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid
steam burns.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium
high heat settings.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on
frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot
fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying.
Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir
together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to
prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
Carefully watch for spillovers or overheating of foods
when frying at high or medium high temperatures.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not allow water, other liquids or grease to remain on
the cooktop or the control panel.
