■ 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.
■ Always heat fat slowly,
and watch as it heats.
■ Use a deep fat
thermometer whenever
possible to prevent
overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
■ Avoid scratching the
glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be
scratched with items
such as sharp
instruments, rings or
other jewelry and rivets
on clothing.
■ Be careful when placing
spoons or other stirring
utensils on glass
cooktop surface when
it is in use. They may
become hot and could
cause burns.
■ Never use the glass
cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
■ Do not operate the
radiant surface units if
the glass is broken.
Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate
a broken cooktop and
create a risk of electrical
shock. Contact a
qualified technician
immediately should
your glass cooktop
become broken.
■ Do not place or store
items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass
cooktop, even when
it is not being used.
