IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Avoid placing any objects on or near the
keypads in order to prevent accidental
activation of the cooktop controls.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, always
be certain that the controls for all surface
units are at the off position and the entire
glass surface is cool before attempting to
clean the cooktop.
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance away from your
cooktop. They may become hot and could
cause burns.
• Do not place or store items on top of the
glass cooktop surface when it is not in use.
• Always turn off the surface unit controls
before removing the cookware.
• Glass and ceramic cookware is not
recommended for use with your radiant
ceramic glass cooktop.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium-high heat settings.
• Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
• Spilled or burnt-on foods may cause
accidental activation or deactivation of the
keypad. Clean the keypad thoroughly and
controls will resume normal operation.
• 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.
• Use a deep-fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
• Never heat unopened food containers.
Pressure buildup may make container burst
and cause injury.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on
or near your cooktop.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as
fats melt slowly.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
