SURFACE COOKING UNITS
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
• 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.
• 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
the cooktop operates 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 size. 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 – To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage due to unintentional contact with utensils,
position utensil handles so that they are turned
inward and do not extend over adjacent surface
units.
