12 - Do not clean the appliance while it is still
hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes
when applied to a hot surface. Wet clothes or
sponges can cause burns from steam.
After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and
allow the cooktop to cool. Clean around the bur-
ner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for
proper operation.
Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the heating
element or burner to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit. This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different size. Proper rela-
tionship or cookware to heating element or
burner will also improve efficiency.
13-To avoid compromising the electrical
safety of the appliance, use of high-pressure
steam jet cleaning apparatus is forbidden.
