●Use proper pan siz+Avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers and large enough to cover burner grate. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

●When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking.

c Keep all plastics away from top burners.

●Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot

air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

●To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls for all burners are at the OFF position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.

*When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flames.

●If range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the top burners and create a fire hazard.

●When a pilot goes out (on a model with standing

pilots), you will detect a faint odor of gas as your signal to relight the pilot. When relighting the pilot, make sure burner controls are in the OFF position, and follow instructions in the Surface Cooking section to relight.

●If you smell gas, and you have already made sure

pilots are lit (on some models), turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

Baking, Brofiing and Roasting

●Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.

●Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escapes can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

●Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

●Place the oven shelves in desired position while oven is cool.

●Pulling out the shelf to the shelf-stop is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is dso a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest position 4<R” is not designed to slide.

●Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

●Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven except as described in this book. Misuse could

result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.

●When using cooking or roasting bags in oven,

follow the manufacturer’s directions.

. Use only glass cookware that is recommended

for use in gas ovens,

●Always remove broiler pan from oven as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can

catch fire if oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan.

●When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame, the fat may ignite, Trim excess fat to prevent

excessive flare-ups.

●Make sure broiler pan is in place correctly to

reduce the possibility of grease fires.

●If you should have a grease fire in the broiler pan, turn off oven, and keep oven door closed to

contain fire until it burns out.

Cleating Your Range

. Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Guide.

●Keep range clean and free of accumdations of grease or spillovers, which may ignite.

●Be careful when you clean the cooktop because the area over the ptiot (on some models) will be hot.

●For continuous clean models, do not use oven cleaners on the oven inside or any of the continuous cleaning surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces can be identified by their rough surface finish.
