Fire Hazard

Turn all controls off when done cooking.

Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or burns.

Easy ways to save energy

•Match the pan to the surface unit size.

•The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid.

•To help shorten your cooking time, use the least amount of liquid possible.

•Preheat your pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.

•Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.

•Place a filled pan on the surface unit before turning it on.

•Keep your reflector bowls clean for best heat reflection.
