Kenmore ELITE 911.33202 Use & Care Manual page 5

o NEVER USE a towel or other bulky
cloth as a potholder. Make sure the
potholder is dry. Moist potholders
and wet cloths or SlSonges could
cause steam burns. DO NOT let
potholders touch hot burners.
o DO NOT touch cooktop burners or
surfaces near them. These may be
hot enough to cause burns even
though they are dark in color.
During and after use, do not touch
or let clothing or flammable material
contact the burners or hot surfaces
until they have had time to cool.
- ONLY certain kinds of glass or
ceramic cookware can be used for
cooktop cooking. Make sure the
cookware you choose to use is
designed for cooktop cooking
without breaking due to the sudden
temperature change.
o ALWAYS USE care when touching
cooktop burners. They will retain
heat after the cooktop has been
turned off.
° COOKWARE USED for cooktop
cooking should be flat on the
bottom and large enough to cover
the heating area being used,
Undersized utensils expose the
open flame and may result in direct
contact or ignition of clothing. The
proper size utensil will also improve
efficiency.
o NEVER LEAVE cooktop burners
unattended at high settings.
Boilovers result in smoking or
greasy spills which could catch fire.
• ALWAYS TURN utensil handles
inward and away from other surface
burners to reduce the risk of burns,
ignition, unintended contact and
spillage.
° WHEN PREPARING flaming food
under the vent hood, turn the fan on.
