IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

•Wear proper apparel. Never let loose clothing or other flammable materials come in contact with the burners while in operation. Fabric may ignite and cause personal injury.

•When deep fat frying, be certain that the pan is large enough to accommodate the desired volume of food without overflow caused by bubbling of the fat.

Never leave a deep fat fryer unattended. Avoid deep fat frying of moist or frost-covered foods, as foods with high water content may cause spattering or spilling of the hot fat. Heat fat slowly, and stir together any combinations of oils and fats prior to applying heat. Utilize a deep fat frying thermometer to avoid heating the fat to temperatures above the flash point.

•Always use dry pot holders when removing pans from the range. Wet or damp pot holders can cause steam burns. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

•Choose pans with easily grasped handles that will stay cool while cooking. Refer to cookware selection on page 28.

•Always turn panhandles inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners or the edge of the range.

•Always check the positions of the control knobs to make certain the range is off when you are finished cooking.

•Always light each burner prior to placing a pan on the burner grate. Also, turn the control knob to the OFF position before removing a pan from the burner grate.

•Keep any ventilation filters clean to avoid grease fires.

•Always set pans gently onto the grates and center them so that they are well balanced.

•Start the ventilation hood approximately five minutes before cooking. This establishes an air curtain and improves the capture of vapor and moisture.

•Use oven only for cooking tasks expected of a home oven as outlined in this guide.

•Always properly clean and maintain the oven as recommended in this guide.

•Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before looking or reaching into the oven.

•Position oven racks in desired locations when oven is cool. If a rack must be repositioned after the oven is already hot, be certain pot holder does not contact a hot heating element in the oven.

•Clean only those parts listed in this guide.
