If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be
exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or
pothdder.
Only certain types of glass, glass!ceramic, ceramic, eaRRhen-
ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven
service without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Follow utensil manufacturers instructions when
using glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into the
room or over another surface element. This reduces the risk
of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage if pan is
accidently bumped or reached by small children.

avoid boflovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat
frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that

a greasy spfllover can cause a fire.

ments. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to cover
elemenL Fitting pan size to element will improve cooking
efficiency.

immerse, soak or clean in a dishwasher or self-dean oven. A
damaged element could short resulting in a fire or shock
hazard.
Make sure drip bowls are in place as absence of these bowls
during cooking could damage wiring.
Protec_ve Liners: Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or dispos-
ing of hot grease. Allow grease to cod before attempting to
move pan.
Ventimating Needs

other flammable materials from accumulating on hood or
filter and to avoid grease fires.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
