To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking
grease or other flammable materials accu-
mulate in or near the appliance.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in a
steam burn. Do not let potholders touch
hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth which could easily
touch hot heating elements and ignite.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is
completed.
This appliance has been tested for safe
performance using conventional cookware.
Do not use any devices or accessories that
are not specifically recommended in this
manual. Do not use eyelid covers or stove
top grills. The use of devices or accessories
that are not expressly recommended in this
manual can create serious safety hazards,
result in performance problems, and re-
duce the life of the components of this
appliance.
NEVER use aluminum foil or foil contain-
ers on the cooktop. These may become
very hot. Use foil only as directed in this
guide.
Aerosol-type cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flam-
mable. Do not use or store near appliance.
Clean only parts listed in this guide and use
procedures recommended.

OOKTOP
NEVER leave surface units unattended
especially when using high heat. An unat-
tended boilover could cause smoking and a
greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different
size surface elements. Select pans with flat
bottoms large enough to cover element.
Fitting pan size to element will improve
cooking efficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of
the element will be exposed to direct con-
tact and could ignite clothing or potholder.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed uten-
sils are suitable for cooktop service with-
out breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Follow utensil manufacturer's
instructions when using glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop,
not out into the room or over another
surface element. This reduces the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage if pan is accidently bumped or
reached by small children.
