ALL APPLIANCES
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
1. Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Use of oversized utensils concentrates heat on cooking surface and can cause damage to range. Proper relationship of utensil to burner improves efficiency. 2. Never leave surface units unattended. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. 3. Make sure reflector pans or drip bowls are in place. Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage. 4. Protective liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line drip bowls or oven bottoms. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire. 5. Glazed cooking utensils�Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature. 6. Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface units. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units. 7. Do not soak removable heating elements. Heating elements should never be immersed in water.
