iMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

- Know which knob controls each surface etement_

Use Proper Pan Size---This appliance is equipped with surface elements of different sizes,

Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing Proper relationship of utensil to element

will also'improve efficiency.

o Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface elements.

-Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat

Settings---Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt

o Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements-- Heating elements should never be immersed in water.. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

-Make sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place-- Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
