SURFACE COOKING UNITS
1. Useproperpan size. This applianceis equipped with
oneor more surface burnersof different sizes. Select
utensilshaving flat bottoms large enough tocover the
surfaceburnerflame. The use of undersized utensils
will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationshipof utensil to burner will alsoimprove
efficiency.
2. Neverleavesurfaceburners unattended at high heat
settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
3. Glazed cooking utensils. Only certain types of glass,
ceramic,earthware, or other glazedutensils are
suitablefor range top service without breakingdue to
suddenchangeintemperature.
4. Utensilhandlesshould be turned inward andnot
extendoveradjacentsurfaceburners. Reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.
Turnutensil handle inward so handle does not extend
overadjacentsurface units.
