Use proper pan size–select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiency.
Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break
because of the sudden change in
temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned toward the
center of the range without extending over
nearby surface units.
Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.

The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold
hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
Always start with hot food; cold food cannot
be heated or cooked in the warming drawer.
Do not use the warming drawer to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they can catch
on fire.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the warming drawer when not
in use.
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your warming drawer.
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance away from your
warming drawer.
Do not warm food in the warming drawer
for more than two hours.
Do not touch the heating element or the
interior surface of the warming drawer.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the
warming drawer may be hot when the
drawer is opened.
Use care when opening the drawer. Open
the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food. Hot
air or steam which escapes can cause burns
to hands, face and/or eyes.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer.
Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will
trap heat beneath it. This will upset the
performance of the drawer and it could
damage the interior finish.
