CAUTION
•
Use the rear burners for a small pan or pot with a bottom diameter of about
6 inches or less.
•
Do not use an oversized pan. The burner flames may spread out, causing damage
nearby.
•
Always make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop
and not over other surface burners. This will minimize the chance of burns,
spillovers, and the ignition of flammable materials that can be caused if pots or
pans are bumped accidently.
•
When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for range top cooking.
• Never leave
plastic items on the cooktop. Hot air from the vent can melt or ignite
plastic items or cause build up of dangerous pressure in closed plastic containers.
You may get severe burns if you touch the surfaces near the vent while the oven
is operating.
•
Make sure you hold the handle of a wok or a small one-handled pot while
cooking.
Griddle
The coated griddle provides an extra cooking surface. This is useful especially
when cooking meat, pancakes, or other foods requiring a large cooking area.
The griddle can be used only with the
center burner instead of the center grate.
Use caution when putting the griddle on the
center burner.
In most cases, you should preheat the griddle before cooking. See the table below.
