SURFACECOOKINGUNITS

Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

.....Never leave the surfhce units unattended at

high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fhe.

.....Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip

pans or anDvhere in the oven except as described in this manual. Misuse could

result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the range.

.....Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are

not covered and are in place. Their

absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

.....Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop se_ice; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

.....To minimize the possibility of burns,

ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range

without extending over nearby surface units.

Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

.....Do not immerse or soak the removable

surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not sell-clean the surface units in the oven.
