be hot even though they
are dark in color. Areas near
surface units may become
hot enough to cause burns.

touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact
surface units or areas near
units until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Among
those areas are the cooktop
and surfaces facing the
cooktop.
•
Never Leave Surface Units

Settings – Boil over causes
smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite.
•
Glazed Cooking Utensils –
Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for
range-top service without
breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
•
Utensil Handles Should Be
Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface
Units – To reduce the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of a utensil
should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does
not extend over adjacent
surface units.
•
Clean Cooktop With Caution –
If a wet sponge or cloth is used
to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid
steam burn. Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.

before removing or replacing
food.
