11. TYPE OF COOKWARE - Avoid pans that are unstable and easily tipped. In choosing pans, look for easily-grasped handles that will stay cool. Pans that are too heavy when filled with food can also be a hazard. If pan handles twist and cannot be tightened, discard the pan. 12. HANDLES - Always turn pan handles to the side or back of the cooktop - not out into the room where they are easily hit. COOKWARE HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER ADJACENT SURFACE BURNERS to minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware. 13. CAUTION - Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above cooktop-children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured. Do not touch surface burner areas or any areas near burners. During and after use, these areas may be hot enough to cause burns. Avoid contact with these areas by clothing or other flammable materials until they have had sufficient time to cool. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury. Keep all controls "OFF" when units is not in use. GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Never leave any cooking operation unattended. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease to collect around the cooktop. Wipe up spillovers immediately. If the cooktop is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners creating a FIRE HAZARD. Do not use aluminum foil to line burner spillover bowl. Restriction of normal air flow may result in unsafe operation. Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures recommended. Always allow hot pans to cool in a safe place out of the reach of small children. A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. If a gas odor is detected, cut off the gas supply to the cooktop. Call your installer or local gas company to have the possible leak checked. Never use a match or other flame to locate a gas leak.
