Important safety information
• To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, do not pour water into the cooktop well while
cleaning.
• Select cookware that is designed for top-range cooking. Use cookware that is large enough
to cover the burner grates. Adjust the burner flames so that the flames do not extend
beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not use
cookware that is exceedingly larger than the grate.
• Make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop, but not over
other surface burners.
• Stand away from the range while frying.
• Always heat frying oils slowly, and watch as they heat. If you are frying foods at high heat,
carefully watch during the cooking process. If a combination of fats or oils is to be used
during frying, mix them together before heating.
• Use a deep-fryer thermometer whenever possible. This prevents overheating the fryer
beyond the smoking point.
• Use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying or deep-frying. Avoid cooking
unthawed food or food with excessive amounts of ice.
• Before moving cookware full of fats or oils, make sure it has completely cooled.
• To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, always allow heated liquids to stand at least 20
seconds after you have turned off the burner so that the temperature in the liquid can
stabilize. In the event of scalding, follow these first aid instructions:
1) Immerse the scaled area in cool or lukewarm water for at least 10 minutes.
2) Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.
3) Cover with a clean, dry cloth.
