SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS READ BEFORE OPERATING THE RANGE.

Accidents are always tragic, especially because so many of them could have been prevented with a little care and judgement. Here are some basic good practices to follow for safe use of the gas range.

1.Be sure the range is installed by a qualified technician and is properly grounded.

2.Never use the range for warming or heating the room. This warning is based on safety considerations.

3.Wear proper apparel - loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn when operating the range.

4.Do not repair or replace any part unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified service technician.

5.Flammable materials should not be stored near the range.

6.Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical (such as baking soda) or foam type extinguisher.

7.Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

8.Children should not be left alone or unattended in area when the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range.

9.Select utensils large enough to properly contain food and avoid boil-overs or spillovers. This will both save cleaning and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy splattering or spillovers left on a range can ignite. Pan size is especially important in deep-fat frying.

10.TYPE OF UTENSILS - 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.

11.HANDLES - Always turn pan handles to the side or back of the range - not out into the room where they

are easily hit. UTENSIL HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER AD- JACENT SURFACE BURNERS to minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

12.Never leave range burners at high heat settings. Boil- over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

13.Clean range with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to hot surfaces.

14.Do not touch surface area near burner units and burner caps. 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.

15.Do not heat unopened food containers - build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

16.Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously in- jured.

17.GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Never leave any cooking opera- tion unattended. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Wipe spillovers immediately.

18.Burner flame should be adjusted so that they do not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. This warning is based on safety considerations.

19.Never sit, step, or stand on any part of the range or injury may result.
