high heat settings Boilovers cause smoking and greasy  
spillovers thatmaycatch on fire.  
Onlycertain typesof glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware.  
or other glazed containers are.suitable for cooktop  
service; othersmaybreak because of the sudden  
change in temperature.  
Never leave oil unattended while frying If allowed to  
heat beyondits smoking point, oilmayignite resulting  
in fire thatmayspread to surrounding cabinets Use a  
deep fat thermometer whenever possible tomonitor oil  
temperature.  
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimumamount of  
oil when shallow pan-fryingand avoid cooking frozen  
foods with excessive amounts of ice.  
To minimize the possibilityof burns, ignition of  
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a  
container should be turned toward the center of the  
range without extending over nearbysurface units.  
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the  
fan on.

the number of surface units that are on.  
With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface  
temperatures are high. Always use  
caution when touching the cooktop.  
An indicator light will come on when

Even after the surface units are turned  
off, the glass cooktop retains enough  
heat to continue cooking. To avoid  
overcooking, remove pans from the  
surface units
