Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat
oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting.
Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and
injury.
Cookware safety
Use proper pan size. The use of undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the surface heating unit. This
appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different size. Proper relationship of
cookware to heating element will also improve
efficiency.
Cookware not approved for use with ceramic
cooktops may break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for
ceramic cooktops (only certain types of glass,
heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware or other
glazed utensils are suitable).
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the
pan.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they
do not extend over adjacent work areas or the edge
of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills
and burns.
Cleaning safety
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a
hot surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause
burns from steam.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the cooktop.
