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.
