use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
THESE SURFACES. Surface units may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch
these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among
these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

Never use your appliance for warming or

fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
the potholders touch hot heating surface units. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers. Buildup of
pressure may cause the container to burst and result in

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and then
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.
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.
