Useproperpansixe—This
appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of different
size. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized cookware
will expose aportion of the
heating element to di~ectcontact
and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to burner will also
improve efficiency.
@Never leavesurfaceuniti
