iMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
- Know which knob controls each surface etement_
Use Proper Pan Size---This appliance is
equipped with surface elements of different sizes,
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing Proper relationship of utensil to element
will also' improve efficiency.
o Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Elements--To reduce the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage 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 over adjacent surface elements.
- Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat
Settings---Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt
o Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersed in water.. Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation.
- Make sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place--
