IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFOR USINGYOUR COOKTOP
* Knowwhich knob controls each surface heating unit.
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.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface
unit wilt also improve efficiency.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Units--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 unit.
= Never Leave Surface Units Unattended--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Protective liners-- Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the
appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed
on the food. Any other used of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic;
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.

the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns wilt occur if the hot covers
are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.
