Using the Cooktop Elements
Only use cookware and dishes that are safe for oven and cooktop use.
Always use oven mitts when removing food from the cooktop and oven.
Do not place sealed containers on the cooktop.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food while on the cooktop. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.
Never leave food on the cooktop unattended. Spillovers can cause smoke. Greasy spillovers may catch on fire.
The surface element may appear to have cooled after it has been turned off. The element may still be hot and touching the element before it has cooled sufficiently can cause burns.
Match the size of the cooktop element to the size of the cookware in use. Using a large element for a small pan wastes heating energy, and the exposed surface of the element is a burn or fire hazard.
