of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to

Heat Settings – Boil overs may cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may ignite.

during cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.

glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service
without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
•
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition of ammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface units.
