earthware or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
4 To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with
utensils, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
5 Do not cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
6 Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface. Please see cleaning
the glass cooktop section.
7 Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
8 When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
9 Deep fat fryers - use extreme caution when moving the
grease kettle or disposing of hot grease.
10 Always turn the surface units off before removing
cookware.
11 Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium
high heat settings.
12 Food 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.
13 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.
14 Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.
15 use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent
heating fat beyond the smoking point.
16 Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be
scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings
or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.
17 Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or cooktop
can lead to broken or shattered glass.
18 Never use the glass cooktop surface as cutting board.
19 Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire
on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.
20 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.
