YOUR
COOl(TOP
• 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
Units--To
reduce the risk of bums,
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
Units
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.

wiring
or components
underneath
to damage.

Liners--Do
not use aluminum
foil to line surface
unit drip bowls, reflector
pans, or oven bottom,
or any other
