Cooktop safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these precautions:
• Turn off all burners that are not in use.
• Do not line the grates or any part of the cooktop with aluminum foil.
• Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high heat settings.
• Before igniting, ensure the burner components are properly seated.
• Use the LITE (flame icon) position to ignite a burner, then ensure the burner ignites. If
ignition fails, turn the knob OFF, and wait a few minutes for the gas to dissipate.
•
Wh en setting a burner to simmer, turn the knob slowly, and ensure the flame stays on.
• Place only cookware on the cooktop.
• Turn off a burner before removing the cookware.
• Ensure all cooktop burners are off and all surfaces are cool to the touch before
removing the grates and disassembling the burners.
• After cleaning the burner head, dry it completely before reassembly.
• Do not pour liquids into the cooktop during cleaning.
• Select cookware that is designed for cooktops and that is large enough to cover the
grates. Burner flames should not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• Do not use cookware that is considerably larger than the grate.
• Turn cookware handles away from active burners or the front edge of the cooktop.
• Stand at a safe distance while frying.
• Heat frying oil slowly, and monitor the oil as it heats. For high-heat frying, monitor
the oil throughout the cooking process.
• If combining fats or oils, do so before heating.
• If possible, use a deep-fry thermometer so you can adjust the heat to keep the oil
below its smoke point. (Know the smoke point of your oil.)
• Use minimal oil when frying.
• Thaw food before frying; do not fry overly cold food or that is clumped with ice.
• Let hot oil/fat cool to room temperature before moving the cookware.
• In case of scalding:
– Immerse the scalded area in cool water for at least 10 minutes.
– Do not apply creams/oils/lotions.
– Cover the scalded area with a clean, dry cloth.
