due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of the utensil should be positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not extend

at High Heat Settings —Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite,
or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

foil only to cover food during cooking. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of
electric shock, or
fi re.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils —Only certain types
of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner
Covers. If a burner/unit is accidentally turned
on, the decorative cover will become hot and
possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the
burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers
are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop or burners because the covers may
cause overheating. Air will blocked from the
