Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The
use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the
surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will
also improve efficiency.
■ Never leave the surface
units unattended at
high heat settings.
Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy
spillovers that may
catch on fire.
■ Be sure the drip pans
and the vent duct are
not covered and are in
place. Their absence
during cooking could
damage range parts
and wiring.
■ Do not use aluminum
foil to line the drip
pans or anywhere in
the oven except as
described in this
manual. Misuse could
result in a shock, fire
hazard or damage to
the range.
■ Only certain types of
glass, glass ⁄ceramic,
earthenware or other
glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop
service; others may
break because of the
sudden change in
temperature.
■ To minimize the
possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable
materials and spillage,
the handle of a
container should be
turned toward the
center of the range
without extending over
nearby surface units.
■ Always turn the surface
units off before
removing cookware.
■ Do not immerse or
soak the removable
surface units. Do not
put them in a
dishwasher.
■ When flaming foods
are under the hood,
turn the fan off. The
fan, if operating, may
spread the flame.
■ To avoid the possibility
of a burn or electric
shock, always be certain
that the controls for all
surface units are at the
OFF position and all
coils are cool before
attempting to lift or
remove a unit.
