COIL COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Donotimmerseorsoaktheremovablesurface
units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-
clean the surface units in an oven. Doing so may
cause them to fail presenting a burn or fire hazard.
■Donotuseasurfaceunit(heatingelement)ifit
develops a glowing spot during use or shows
other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates
the surface unit may fail and present a potential
burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the surface unit
off immediately and have it replaced by a qualified
service technician.
■Toavoidthepossibilityofaburnorelectricshock,
always be certain that the controls for all surface
units are at the OFF position and all coils are cool
before attempting to lift or remove a coil surface unit.
■Donotusealuminumfoiltolinedrippans.Foilcan
trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product
and a shock or fire hazard.
■Besurethedrippansarenotcoveredandarein
place. Their absence during cooking could damage
range parts and wiring.
WARNING
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Never leave the surface units unattended. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
■ Alwaysbepresentattherangewhencookingwith
oil or grease. Surface cooking is an "attended"
activity.
■ Neverleaveoilunattendedwhilefrying.Ifallowed
to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding
cabinets.Useadeepfatthermometerwhenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.
■ Toavoidoilspilloverandfire,useaminimum
amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid
cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
■ Useproperpansize—selectcookwarehaving
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
heating element. The use of undersized cookware
will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiency.
■ Whenusingglass/ceramiccookware,makesure
it is suitable for cooktop service; others may break
because of sudden change in temperature.
■ 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
range without extending over nearby surface units.
■ Whenpreparingflamingfoodsunderahood,turn
the fan on.
■ Ifpowerislosttoanelectriccooktopwhilea
surface unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back on
as soon as power is restored.
■ Intheeventofpowerloss,failuretoturnallsurface
unit knobs to the OFF position may result in ignition
of items on or near the cooktop, leading to serious
injury or death.
