Select cookware having flatbottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is largeenough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardousaccumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on cooktop can ignite. Use panswith handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.WARNING!SURFACE BURNERS■ Always use the LITE position whenigniting the top burners and make surethe burners have ignited.■ Never leave the surface burnersunattended at high flame settings.Boilovers cause smoking and greasyspillovers that may catch on fire.■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damppot holders on hot surfaces may result inburns from steam. Do not let pot holderscome near open flames when liftingcookware. Do not use a towel or otherbulky cloth in place of a pot holder. Suchcloths can catch fire on a hot burner.■ When using glass cookware, make sureit is designed for cooktop cooking.■ To minimize the possibility of burns,ignition of flammable materials andspillage, turn cookware handles towardthe side or back of the cooktop withoutextending over adjacent burners.■ Always turn the surface burner controls offbefore removing cookware.■ Carefully watch foods being fried at a highflame setting.■ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.■ Do not leave any items on the cooktop.The hot air from the vent may igniteflammable items and will increase pressurein closed containers, which may causethem to burst.■ If a combination of oils or fats will be usedin frying, stir together before heating or asfats melt slowly.■ Do not use a wok on the cooking surfaceif the wok has a round metal ring that isplaced over the burner grate to supportthe wok.
