• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a

pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.

The use of undersized utensils willexpose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of utensilto element will alsoimprove efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should BeTurned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements--To reduce the risk ofburns, 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

units.

• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements i Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
