		Safety
Cookware Safety	• Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
	• Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags.
	• Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent
		spills and movement of the pan.
	• Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
		of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of
		clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the sur-
		face heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
		different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner
		will also improve efficiency.
	• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adja-
		cent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of
		fires, spills and burns.
	• Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend beyond the edge of the
		cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to burner flame reduces safety
		risks.

		for easy reference.

		cian. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instruc-
