1. Precaution
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
•
Use Proper Pan Size
– This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes .
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough
to cover the surface unit heating 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
burner will also improve efficiency.
•
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High
Heat Settings
– Boil overs may cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may ignite .
•
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls
Are in Place
– Absence of these pans or bowls
during cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage .
•
Protective Liners
– Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as
suggested in the manual . Improper installation of these
liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
•
Glazed Cooking Utensils
– Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service
without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature .
•
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units
– 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
–
Heating elements should never be immersed in water .
• Be sure you know which control pads operate each
surface unit . Make sure you turned on the correct
surface unit .
