¡ Surface Cooking Units:
. Glazed cooking utensils - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, ealthetrware, or other glazed utensils ale
suitable fol lange-top service without breaking due to the sudclen change in temperature.
, . Utensils handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface units -- To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flarnmable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil shor"rld be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
. Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with one or-more sulface units of cliff'erent size. Select t¡tensils having flat
bottorns large enough to cover the surface unit-heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose aportion of the
heating element to clilect contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensils to burner will also
improve efficiency.
. Never leave surface units unattended at high heat setting - Boil-over causes smoking ancl gleasy spillovels that rnay ignite.
For Coil Surface Elements Cook-top models:
o Make sure reflector pans or drip bowls are in place - Absence of these pans ol' bowls during cooking rnay subject
wiring or cornponents underneath to darnage.
o Protective liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in
the manual, Improper installation of these liners rnay result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
o Do not soak removable heating elements - Heating elements should never be irnmersed in water.
o Clean the cook top with caution - If a wet sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot cook top, be careful to avoid steam
burns.
o To avoid the possibility of a burn ol electric shock, always be certain that the controls fol all surface units are at the
OFF position ancl all coils are cool before atternpting to lift or remove a nnit.
For Ceramic Glass Cook-top models:
o Do not cook on broken cook top - Ifcook top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers rnay penetrate the
broken cook top ancl create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualif,red technician irnrnediately.
o Never use the glass cook-top surface as a cntting area.
o Be carefi¡l when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on glass cook-top surface when it is in use. They may
become hot and could cause burns.
o Do not place or store iterns that can rnelt or catch f,rre on the glass cook-top, even when it is not being used.
o Clean cook top with caution - If a wet sponge ol cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid a steam burn. Sorne cleaners can produce noxious frunes ifapplied to a hot surface.
o Do not to leave a hot lid on the cook-top - As the cook-top cools, air can becorne trapped between the lid and the
cook-top and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is rernoved.
o Do not cook foods directly on the cook-top surface without a pan.
o Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cook-top, they rnay cause it to craok.
Oven:
. Use care whcn opening oven door - Let hot air or steam escape before removirlg or replacing food.
¡ Do not heat unopened food co¡rtai¡rers - Build-up of pressure may cause container to bulst and result in injuty.

They may vary when using other types of pans'

COIL ELEMENTS AND BURNER BOWLS (Coil Surface Elements Cook-top Models)
. Surface units should be level for optirnal cooking results. Dlip bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware.
They also help catch spills.
. Cookware should have flat bottorns that make good contact with the entile surface unit. Check for flatness by rotating a
ruler across the bottorn. There should be no gaps between the utensil and the ruler.
. Utensil sizes shor"rld match with surface unit size. Pans should cover the entire elernent to absorb the maxiurum heat.
Avoid using an undersized utensil that would expose a portion of the surface unit, resulting in serious burns or clothing
ignition.
. Pans shor.rld not extend more than one inch over the coil element. The boftorn surface of the pan in this situation could
trap enough heat to cause discoloring of the burner bowl, damage to the surface units ancl or crazing of the porcelain
enarnel range surface.
CERAMIC GLASS (Ceramic Glass Cook-top Models)
. The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the
selected heat level.
¡ Wiping off the cook-top before and after each use will help keep it free frorn stains and provide the most even heating.
For rnore information, see "Care and Cleaning" section.
. Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend rnole than one inch outside
the area.
. Use flat-bottorned cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.
. Detennine flatness by placing the straight edge of a Luler, no space ol' Iight shoulcl be visible between it and the
cookware.
