SURFACE
COOKING UNITS
1. Use Proper Pan Size—
This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of different
size. 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. Use of oversized
utensils concentrates heat on cooking surface and
can cause damage to range. Proper relationship of
utensil to burner improves efficiency.
2. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings—Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
3. Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of
glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for rangetop service without breaking
due to sudden change in temperature.
4. Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extended Over Adjacent Surface Units—To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials,
and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.
5. Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements—
Heating elements should never be immersed in
water.
GLASS/CERAMIC
COOKING SURFACES
1. Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop—If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
2. Clean Cooktop With Caution—If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area,
be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
