the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fator
greasemay catchfire if allowed to becometoo hot.
• Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let the potholders touch the surface units. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Build-up of
pressure may causethe container to burst and result
in injury.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is
to be stored or discarded.

Important Instructions for Using Your
Cooktop
• Know which knob controls each surface heating
element.
• Use proper pan size--This appliance is equippedwith
one or more surface elements of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface element. The useof undersized utensils will expose
a portion of the heating element to direct contact and
may result in ignitionof clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to element will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should BeTurned Inward and Should
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements--To
reducethe riskof burns, ignition of flammable materials,
and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is
turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
units.
• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating
Elements_Heating elements shouldneverbe immersedin
water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal
operation.
• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite,or a pan that hasboiled dry may melt.
• Make sure drip pans or drip bowls are in place--
Absence of these pans or bowls during cookingmay
subjectwiring or componentsunderneath to damage.
• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line
surfaceunit reflectorpans, drip bowls, oven bottom or any
other part of the range. Only usealuminum foil as
