*U a combination of ok or fats W be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.

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

●Never try to move a pan of hot fa~ especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

c Use proper pan size—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.

. Keep all plastics away from the top burners.

Vent appearance and location va~l

●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 cerhin that the controls for all burners are at the off position and all grates are cool before attemptkg 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 standing pilot models), 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 this book to relight.

●H you smell gas, and you have already made sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot models), turn off the gas to the range and cdl a qutified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

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

“Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

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

●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.

●Mling out the she~ to the she~-stop is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest position “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 foiI anywhere in the oven

except as described in this guide. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.

. When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

●Use only ~ass cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens.

●Always remove the broiler pan from range 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 the broiler pan is in place correctly

to reduce the possibility of grease fires.

. If you shotid have a grease fire in the broiler pan, turn off oven control, and keep broiler drawer and oven door closed to contain fim until it bums out.

Cleaning Your Range

●Clean only parts ~sted in this Use and Care Guide.

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

*Be careful when you clean the cooktop because the area over the pilot (on standing pflot models) will be hot.

●For continuous clean models, do not use oven

cleaners on any of the continuous cleaning surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces can be identified by their rough surface finish.
