WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover bumer grates. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain
the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since
heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped

and remain cooL

_{_Ahvavs use the LITEposition when ignidng

the top burners and make sure file burners
hal> ignited.

_:_Never leaxe tile sm£_ce bun_ers unatmnded

;_i:':Adjust tile mp burner flame size so it

does not exmnd beyond ti_e edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

N Use only dry pot holders-- moist or damp

pot holders on hot surlaaces may result ill
bun_s from steam. Do not let pot holders

come near open flames when lifting
cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky

cloth in place of a pot holder

N When using glass cookware, make sure it

is designed for rap-of-range cooking.

N To minimize the possibility of bums, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward tim side or back
