IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

Place a pan of food on the surface element unit before

turning it on, and turn the element off before removing

the pan.

• 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 element will also improve

efficiency.

ii CAUTION

Protective liners — Do not use aluminum

foil to line surface unit drip bowls, or reflector pans. Only

use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.

Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of

electric shock, or fire.

• 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.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend

over adjacent surface elements — To reduce the risk of

burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due

to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the

utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward,

and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

• Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat

settings — Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers

that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking

due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the

fan on.
