unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of the cookware to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

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 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 drip pans

or anywhere in the oven except as described in this guide. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the range.

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

Q 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.

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 the unit.
