*Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch a hot surface unit and you could be burned.
@Useonly dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces could result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder touch hot heating ele- ments. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It could catch on fire.
l Keep range vents unobstructed.

When using the cooktop
l Make sure the reflector bowls are in place during cooking. Cooking without reflector bowls could subject the wiring and components underneath them to damage.
ADOnot line reflector bowls with aluminum foil or other liners. Im- proper installation of these liners could result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
@Selecta pan with a flat bottom that is about the same size as the surface unit. If pan is smaller than the surface unit, some of the heating element will be exposed and could result in the igniting of clothing or pot holders. Correct pan size also improves cooking efficiency.
*Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the range. Only certain types of glass,
*Never leave surface units unat- tended at high heat settings. A boilover could result and cause smoking and greasy spillovers that could ignite.
@Turnpan handles inward, but not over other surface units. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan.
