Warning and Safety Instructions
Warning and Safety Instructions Use pots and pans that are the same size as the cooktop heating elements. When high settings are used, remain near the cooktop in case splattering grease or liquid boil overs cause smoke. Only use dry potholders. Only use cookware suitable for range-top service. Unsuitable cookware may break due to sudden temperature changes. Always position the handle of the cookware toward the center of the range to minimize burns, and spillage. Before removing pots and pans, be sure to turn the cooktop �OFF�. Always heat oil slowly, so it doesn�t bubble over. When frying foods, make sure that the food is as dry as possible to prevent moisture from causing hot oil to bubble over. When shallow or deep frying, do not overfill the pan with oil. Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be refered to a qualified technician. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother any fire or flame or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above or behind the cooktop � children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured. Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean the cooktop. The steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit. Save these instructions and review them periodically. Disposal of an old appliance Before disposing of an old appliance, turn it off at the main power connection and disconnect and remove the appliance cord. This is intended to prevent the discarded appliance from becoming a hazard. Text highlighted in boxes is of particular importance and should be read in conjunction with the Warning and Safety instructions.
