more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having fiat

bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.

Adjacent Surface Elements--To reduce the risk of bums, ignition

of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact

with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so

that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
