potholders on hot surfaces may result
in burns from steam. Do not let pot-
holders touch hot cooking areas. Do
not use towels or other bulky cloths.

ments, areas near these burners or el-
ements, interior surfaces of the oven,
or the warmer drawer (if equipped).
Surface burners and elements may be
hot even though they appear cool.
• Areas near surface burners and ele-
ments may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or oth-
er fl ammable materials touch these

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR RADIANT COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each
surface heating area. Place cookware with
food on the cooking area before turning it
on. Turn the cooking area off before re-
moving the cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned in-
ward and not extend over adjacent surface
elements — To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of fl ammable materials, and spill-
age due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of the cookware should
be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over other cooking
areas.
Use proper pan size - This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of diff erent sizes. Select cookware with fl at
bottoms that match the surface unit size.
Using the proper cookware on the cooking
area will improve effi ciency.
Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceram-
ic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use.
