Important Safety Instructions
10
• Do not clean the appliance while it is still
hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes when applied to a hot surface.
Wet clothes and sponges can cause
burns from steam.
Cookware safety
• Hold the handle of the pan when stirring
or turning food. This helps prevent spills
and movement of the pan.
• Use Proper Pan Size. The use of
undersized cookware will expose a
portion of the heating element or burner
to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing.
• Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the surface
heating unit.
• This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes.
Proper relationship of cookware to
heating element or burner will also
improve efficiency.
• Always position handles of utensils
inward so they do not extend over
adjacent work areas, burners, or the
edge of the cooktop. This reduces the
risk of fires, spills and burns.
• Adjust burner flame size so that it does
not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Proper relationship of
cookware to burner flame reduces
safety risks.
