IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

_l'l'vJV'-1"t_ll_[€'ll Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil, The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing, Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place apan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off

before removing the pan,

•Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit, Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners--To reduce the risk of burns, 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

burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat

Settinge--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface

burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this manual, Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric

shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cook top use.

plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite,

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
