to cause burns. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been

turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements or burners.
