1. Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface burners of different sizes.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface burner. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the burner to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Use
of oversized utensils concentrates heat on cooking
surface and can cause damage to cooktop. Proper
relationship of utensil to burner improves efficiency.
2. Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended—Boilover
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
3. Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place—Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.
4. Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface burner drip bowls or oven bottom, except as
suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
5. Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of
glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due
to sudden change in temperature.
6. Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extended Over Adjacent Surface Burners—To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
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 burners.
Precautions
•
Do not cook food directly on
cooktop surface, always use
cookware.
Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical
mixtures may interact with objectionable or even
hazardous results.
Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.
They may melt and stick.
Do not slide rough metal objects across cooktop
surface. Scratching or metal marking can result.
Do not leave fat heating unless you remain nearby.
Fat can ignite if overheated by spilling onto hot
surfaces.
Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause
damage to cooking surface and pan.
Do not use cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Do not use cooktop for storage or as a display
counter.
VENTILATION HOODS
1. Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently—Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
2. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Cookware Recommendations
What Should You Consider in Cookware?
Flat Pan Test
SELECT
AVOID
Flat bottomed cookware.
Cookware with rounded or warped bottoms.
Heavy gauge metal cookware.
Light gauge metal cookware.
Handles that are secure, that are not
heavy enough to tilt pan.
Cookware with loose or broken handles or
heavy handles that tip pan when empty.
Proper pan size.
Cookware that is smaller than or greater than
burner grate by 1 inch.
Flat bottomed wok
Wok with a ringstand on bottom.
For best cooking results, use a pan
with a flat bottom. To determine if
pan has a flat bottom:
1. Rotate a ruler along bottom
of pan. If pan is not flat, gaps
between bottom of pan and
edge of ruler can be seen.
2. A small groove or mark on a
pan does not affect cooking
times. However, if a pan has
a gap, formed rings, or an
uneven bottom, it does not
cook efficiently and in some
cases may not boil liquid.

the canning cookware overheats both
the burners and the surface of the range
or cooktop. This may cause damage to
burners, knobs, or finish, and may even
cause overheating of surrounding walls.
Damage incurred by canning, or
attempting to can, is not covered under
warranty.
