@Donot wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch a hot surface unit and you could be burned.
@Useonly dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces could result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It could catch on fire.
*Keep range vents unobstructed.
@Donot heat unopened contain- ers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.
@Useonly utensils approved for oven use. Follow utensil manufacturer’s instructions, especially when using glass or plastic utensils.
@Donot store flammable materials on or near the range. The fumes could create an explosion and/or fire hazard.
When using the cooktop
@Make sure the reflector bowls are in place during cooking. Cooking without reflector bowls could subject the wiring and compo- nents underneath them to damage.
l Do not line reflector bowls with aluminum foil or other liners. Improper installation of these liners could result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
@Select a pan with a flat bottom that is about the same size as the surface unit. If pan is smaller than the surface unit, some of the heat- ing element will be exposed and could result in the igniting of cloth- ing or pot holders. Correct pan size also improves cooking efficiency.
@Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the range. Only certain types of glass,
*Never leave surface units unat- tended at high heat settings. A boilover could result and cause smoking and greasy spillovers that could ignite.
@Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface units. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan.
