●Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top of the oven door, and under the stortige drawer.

●Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which mtiy damage the burner grate and burner head. Also. it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may ctiuse a ctirbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

●Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on fro7.en foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over sides of pan.

●Use least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spil]overs when food” is udded.

●If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heatin& or as fats melt slowly.

●Always heat fat slowly, find watch as it heats.

“Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

●Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or near your oven.

“Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

. Use proper pan size—Avoid puns that are unstable or etisi Iy tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. T() avoid spillovcrs. make sure cookware is ltirge enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spi]lovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

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

●Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent.

●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.

●If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.
