shock, or fire.
Glazed Cooking Utensils

breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units
x 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.
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements

top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately.
Clean Cook-Top With Caution
x If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam
burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
