plied to a hot surface
Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes_ Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating

Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units--To reduce the risk of
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 unit,
