iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

Use Proper Pan Size. This

appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

* Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward

from Edges of Cooktop and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. To reduce the risk

of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the

utensil.

* Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at a

Hi Neat Settings. Boilovers cause smoking and

greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that

has boiled dry may melt.

of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

* Ventilating hood. The ventilating hood above

your cooking surface should be cleaned frequently, so the grease from cooking vapors

does not accumulate on the hood or filter.

* Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element

Covers. If an element is accidentally turned

on, the decorative cover will become hot and

possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers

are touched. Damage may also be done to the

appliance.

If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and

spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop

flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom

of the cookware (See Fig. 1). Be sure to follow

the recommendations using cookware as shown

to the right.

results.

For ceramic glass cooktop models, use only flat bottomed woks (without support rings}.

| __.-,.,-,,L-,,., DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends

beyond the surface element. Because this ring traps heat, the surface element and

cooktop surface could be damaged. Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets.

Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact with the surface cooking areas.
