Use Proper Pan Size

￿￿This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating 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 burner will also

improve efficiency.

Glazed Cooking Utensils

￿￿Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units

￿￿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 elements.

￿￿Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top

￿￿If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook- top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

Clean Cook-Top With Caution

￿￿If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
