• Use pans that are large enough to cover the burner area and contain the cooked food but that do not
exceed 10 in. (25 cm) in size. This will reduce or eliminate heavy splattering or spills that can ignite and
cause an explosion or burns and any excessive heat build-up that would result in damage to the range or
slide-in top.
• Turn pan handles inward, but not over other burners. This reduces the chance of burns due to bumping
a pan.
• Do not drop pans on the porcelain surface. Cracks or chips in the porcelain surface may result.
• Be sure that all cooking utensils are safe for use on the range or slide-in surface. Only certain kinds of
utensils are suitable for surface or burner use without breaking due to sudden changes in temperature.
Do not adjust the burner flames to extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil or the flame could
cause burns or poor cooking results.
• Use only dry potholders as moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in steam burns. Do not
let the potholder touch an open flame or use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder as fire could result.
• Control knobs must be turned off when not cooking. Fire and/or a burning hazard my occur if a burner
is accidentally left on.
• Do not apply excessive weight against the range or slide-in door, as it could spring the hinges; in this
event, any such damage would not be covered under warranty.
