Cooktop

• Know which knob controls each surface heating

element.

• Use proper pan size--This appliance is equippedwith

one or more surface elements of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the

surface element. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of the heating element to direct contact and

may result in ignitionof clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to element will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should BeTurned Inward and Should

Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements--To
reducethe riskof 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

units.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating

Elements_Heating elements should neverbe immersedin

water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal
operation.

• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High
