Cookware Safety
•
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
•
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using
cooking or roasting bags.
•
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the
pan.
•
Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware
will expose a portion of the heating element or burner
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface heating unit. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of different
size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating
element or burner will also improve efficiency.
•
Cookware not approved for use with glass ceramic
cooktops may break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for glass
ceramic cooktops (only certain types of glass,
heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable). See Cookware Selection Guide
for further details.
•
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do
not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the
edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires,
spills and burns.
•
CAUTION: Plastic containers or plastic wrap can melt if
in direct contact with the drawer or a hot utensil. If it
melts onto the drawer, it may not be removable.
Food Safety
•
CAUTION: To maintain food safety, follow these
guidelines:
1) DO NOT use a warming drawer to heat cold food
(exception: it is safe to use the drawer to crisp
crackers, chips or dry cereal and to warm plates.
2) Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The
USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F or
warmer.
3) DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.
