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.
