unit. Place pan of food on the element before turning it
on, and turn the element off before removing the pan.
• Use Proper Pan Size=This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select
utensils having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of surface heating unit to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface will also improve efficiency.
- Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward
and Should 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 the utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface unit.
- Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop--The
Searinggrill isnotdesignedforuse on the cooktop.
Doing so may result in a fire.
- Never Leave Surface Units Unattended--Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or
a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
= Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line
oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only
use aluminum as recommended for baking if used as a
cover placed on the food. Any other used of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or a short circuit.
