the pan.
. Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance isequipped 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 will
expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also
improve efficiency.
. UtensiJ HandJes Should BeTurned inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Elements--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 units.
