Important Safety Instructions
• Fire hazard: Do not store anything on
the cooking surfaces.
• Never Leave Surface Units
Unattended at High Heat Settings –
Boiling over causes smoke and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• 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.
• 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.
• Glazed Cookware – Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed cookware are suitable for
cooktop service without breaking due
to the sudden change in temperature.
• Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance
is equipped with one or more surface
units of different size. Select pans
having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized pans
will expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may
cause clothing to catch on fire. Using
the proper sized pan for the burner
will also improve efficiency.
