SURFACE COOKING UNITS
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow
pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
Do not lift the cooktop.
Lifting the cooktop can damage the range and
cause the range to malfunction.
Do not operate the cooktop without cookware.
If you operate the
cooktop without cookware, the control knobs will become hot.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the
cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the
glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause burns.
Use proper pan sizes.
This appliance is equipped with surface units of
different sizes. Select pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough
to cover the surface area of the heating element. Using undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in the ignition of clothing. Matching the size of the pot or
pan to the burner will also improve efficiency.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Units –

flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with

ceramic,earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for range-top
service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.
Cookware handles should be turned outward and not extend

To reduce the risk of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with
cookware, position cookware handles so that they are turned outward,
