CAUTION:
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface. Wet clothes or sponges can cause burns from
steam.
After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and allow
the cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and
burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper
operation.
Cookware Safety
• Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the
pan.
• Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware
will expose a portion of the heating element or burner
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface heating unit. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of different
size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating
element or burner will also improve efficiency.
• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do
not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the
edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires,
spills and burns.
• Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship
of cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks.
• Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils that are
suitable for cooktop use.
