• Always keep dishtowels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe
distance away from your 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.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance.
Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface
elements and may cause severe burns.
• Use only dry pot holders - moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result
in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface
element.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface element by covering the pan completely
with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type extinguisher. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame foods under the hood, turn
the fan on.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on the
cooktop.
• Do not touch surface elements. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even
though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
or other flammable materials contact the surface elements or areas nearby the
surface elements; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Potentially hot surfaces
include the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
• 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 cooktop
without extending over any nearby surface elements.
• Always turn the surface element control to off before removing the cookware.
• Use proper pan size - select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface element heating element. The use of undersized cookware will
expose a portion of the surface element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface element will also
improve efficiency.
• Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed contain-
ers are suitable for cooktop cooking; others may break because of the sudden
change in temperature.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium-high heat settings.
