SURFACE COOKING U NITS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
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 the surf`ace units unatmnded
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
Do not use aluminum fkfil m line the drip
pans or anywhere in the oven except as
described in this manual. Misuse could
result in a shock, fire hazard or damage
to the range.
Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct
are not covered and are in place. Their
absence (luring cooking could damage
range parks and wiring.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for cookmp serx,ice; others
may break because of the sudden change
in temperature.
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 exmnding over nearby
surface units.
@ Always turn the surf`ace units off before
remox,ing cookware.
