SURFACE COOKING UNITS

Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

Safety Information Operating

■Never leave the surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

■Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

■Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans or anywhere in the oven except as described in this manual. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the range.

■Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

■To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units.

■Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

■Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.

■When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.

■To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the OFF position and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit.
