• Select cookware of the proper size, mate- rial, and construction for the particular type of cooking being done. This unit is equipped with heating elements of dierent size. Refer to ele- ment rating on pages 6–7.

• Always turn pan handles inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, heating ele- ments, or edges of the cooktop to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with pan. Do not turn handles toward the room, where they may be bumped or easily hit.

• Never heat an empty pan. It may damage the cooktop or cookware and overheat the unit.

• Do not heat cookware with water droplets on the outside of the pan. The droplets may begin to boil and splatter. Cookware should always be dry.
