IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
* Know which knob controls
each surface heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off
before removing the pan.
* Use Proper Pan Size--This
appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized
utensils
will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing.
Proper
relationship
of utensil
to element
will also
improve efficiency.
* Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent
Surface Elements--To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact
with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
units.
Never
Leave Surface
Elements
Unattended
at High
Heat
Settings--Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
* Do Not immerse
or Soak
Removable
Heating
Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating
elements
clean themselves
during normal operation.
* Glazed Cooking
Utensils--Only
certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic,
ceramic,
earthenware,
or other glazed
utensils
are
suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden
change
in
temperature.
Check
the
manufacturer's
recommendations
for cook top use.
* When flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn the fan on.
