IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General Instructions
1
Cooktop
NEVER leave surface units unattended es-
pecially when using high heat. An unat-
tended boilover could cause smoking and a
greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different
size surface elements. Select pans with flat
bottoms large enough to cover element.
Fitting pan size to element will improve
cooking efficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of
the element will be exposed to direct con-
tact and could ignite clothing or potholder.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed uten-
sils are suitable for cooktop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in tem-
perature. Follow utensil manufacturer’s in-
structions when using glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop,
not out into the room or over another sur-
face element. This reduces the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, or spillage
if pan is accidently bumped or reached by
small children.
