Use utensils with at bottoms. Do not use unstable pans and
position the handles away from the edge of the cooktop.
Make sure the ames are under the pans. It is not safe to let
the ames burn up the sides of the pan; the handle may get

Never leave cooktop burners unattended at high
settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and
greasy spills may catch on re.
Protective liners – DO NOT use aluminum foil to
line cooktop bowls or oven bottoms. Foil liners
may result in a risk of electric shock, or re and will

foil to contact the heating elements.
Glazed cooking utensils – Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range-top use without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
over adjacent burners. If handles are left over
adjacent burners they will get hot and may burn.
Use of aluminum pans may cause metallic marking
of the grates. This does not aect the durability of
the enamel and may be cleaned o with a metal
polish.

Let hot air and steam escape before removing or
replacing food.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make container burst and cause injury.
