SURFACE COOKING UNITS
1.
Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface burners of different sizes.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface burner flame. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
2.
Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended—Boilover
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
3.
Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
around burners. Improper installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.
4.
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.
5.
Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners—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.
