Cooktop Safety Instructions - GE ZEU30 Serie Manuel Du Propriétaire

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• In the event of a fire, do not use water or grease
on fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the
controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit
by covering the pan completely with a well-fitted
lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or a foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Never leave the surface units unattended at
medium or high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• 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.
RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature.
• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass
surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the glass
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop
can be scratched with items such as knives, sharp
instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on
clothing.
• To avoid spillover and fire, use a minimum amount
of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking
frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
• Use the 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.
• 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.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch
fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being
used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they
may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after
it is turned off may cause them to ignite also.
• Use CERAMA BRYTE
and CERAMA BRYTE
cooktop. Wait until the cooktop cools and the
indicator light goes out before cleaning. A wet
sponge or cloth on a hot surface can cause steam
burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes
if applied to a hot surface. Read and follow all
instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream
label. NOTE: Sugary spills are an exception. They
should be scraped off while still hot using an oven
mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section for detailed instructions.
