mMPORTANT mNSTRUCTmONS FOR USmNG
YOUR COOKTOP
o Know which 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 will also improve efficiency.
Utensil bandies shouJd be turned inward and 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.
Never Jeave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accumu-
lations 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 use of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or short circuit.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
Do not use decorative surface element covers, If an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt, Burns will occur if the
hot covers are touched, Damage may also be done to the
cooktop,
