SURFACE COOKING UNITS

1.Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner flame. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

2.Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended—Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

3.Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line around burners. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.

4.Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.

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