•AlwaysturntheknobtothefullLITEposition
whenignitingtopburners. Visually check that the
burner has lit. Then adjust the ame so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
• UtensilHandlesShouldBeTurnedInwardand
NotExtendOverAdjacentSurfaceBurners—To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition of ammable
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 burners.
• NeverLeaveSurfaceBurnersUnattendedat
High Heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has
boiled dry may melt.
• ProtectiveLiners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface burner pans. Protective liners or aluminum
foil may interfere with heat and air distribution, and
combustion. Damage to the cooktop or personal injury
may result.
• GlazedCookingUtensils—Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
• DoNotUseDecorativeSurfaceBurnerCovers. If
a burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able
to see that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to
the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause
overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and
cause combustion problems.
