• Keep oven free from grease build up.
Cookware Safety • Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
• Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags.
• 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 size. 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 adja-
cent 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.
