3. Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line drip bowls. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.
4. Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.
5. Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. Reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil. Position utensil handle so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

Delayed Ignition

Surface Burners

Burner should ignite within 4 seconds. If burner does not ignite within 4 seconds turn control knob to OFF position and follow directions in "Placing Grates and Burner Caps" and "Before Calling for Service" section. Try burner again. If burner still does not ignite in 4 seconds, contact an authorized servicer.

VENTILATION HOODS

1. Clean Vents Frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on vent or filter.
2. When flaming foods, turn fan on.

IN CASE OF FIRE

Fires can occur as a result of overcooking or excessive grease. Though a fire is unlikely, if one occurs, proceed as follows:

Surface Burner Fire

1. Smother the fire with a nonflammable lid or baking soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not water. Not salt. Not flour.
2. As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface controls to OFF.
