GE 164D3333P172 - Manual (Page 9)

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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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. Do not
self-clean the surface
units in the oven.
■ When flaming foods
under the hood, turn
the fan on.
■ 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.
