RADIANT SURFACE UNITS

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.
@ Never leave tile surface units unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers came
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
@ Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cookmp service; othe*:s may
break because of the sudden change in
temperature.

ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the handle of a container

possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fat m bubble
up and over tile sides of the pan.

fat flying. Filling the pan mo full of fat can
cause spillovers when fbod is added.
