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 are to be used during frying, they need to be stirred together before
heating.
Use a deep fryer thermometer whenever possible. This prevents overheating
the fryer beyond the smoking point.
Use as little oil as possible for shallow or deep-fat frying. Using too much oil
can cause spillovers when food is added.
Items should always be removed from the cooktop when they are done
cooking.
Never leave plastic items on the cooktop. Hot air from the vent can melt or
ignite plastic items or cause a building up of dangerous pressure in closed
plastic containers.
This cooktop is not designed to flame foods or cook with a wok or wok ring
attachment. If foods are flamed, they should only be flamed under a ventilation
hood that is on.
Always make sure foods being fried are thawed and dried. Moisture of any kind
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
Never move a pan or deep-fat fryer full of hot fat. Always let it cool before
moving.
Always make sure the controls are OFF and the grates are cool before you
remove them to prevent any possibility of burning.
If the range is located near a window, NEVER hang long curtains or paper
blinds on that window. They could blow over the surface burners and ignite,
causing a fire hazard.
Grease is flammable and should be handled very carefully. Never try to
extinguish a grease fire with water.
If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service
technician. NEVER use an open flame to locate a leak.
Always turn off the surface burner controls before removing cookware. All
surface burner controls should be turned OFF when you are not cooking.
Always turn the burners off before you go to sleep or go out.
