WARNING Aluminum foil • DO NOT place aluminum foil directly on the oven bottom.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE SURFACE COOKING UNITS • Use Proper Pan Sizes. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
