 proper pan 

size—This appliance has four

surface units. Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the selected surface unit.

The use of undersized cookware will expose a
portion of the heating element to direct 
and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of cookware to surface units 

 also

improve efficiency.

 Never leave the surface units unattended at

high heat settings. 

Boilover causes smoking and
