igniting the top burners and make sure the burners

have ignited.

•Controlthetopburneramesizesoitdoesnotextend

beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive ame is

hazardous.

•Useonlydrypotholders—moistordamppotholders

on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. DO

NOT let pot holders come near open ames when lifting

cookware. DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth

instead of a pot holder.

spillage, cookware handles should be turned toward the

side or back of the appliance and should not extend over

adjacent burners.

•

NEVER place any items on the cooktop. The hot air

from the vent may ignite ammable items and will

increase pressure in closed containers, which may

cause them to burst.

•Carefullywatchfoodsbeingfriedatahighamesetting.

•Alwaysheatfatslowly,andwatchasitheats.

or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause

spillovers when food is added.

•DO NOT cook foods directly on the ame (without a pot

or pan), use proper cookware.

•DO NOT use a wok on the surface burners if the wok has

a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate

to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which

may damage the burner grate and burner ring. Also, it

may cause the burner to work improperly and may cause

a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current

standards, resulting in a health hazard.

•Foodsforfryingshouldbeasdryaspossible.Frostor

moisture on foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and

spill over the sides of the pan.

are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware

having at bottoms and large enough to cover

burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure

cookware is large enough to contain the food

properly. This will save both cleaning time and

prevent hazardous accumulations of food which

could ignite if left on the appliance. Use pans with

handles that can be easily grasped and remain

cool.
