Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist of damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.
·
Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
different size. 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

smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking
