JMPORT~T SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

●To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners.

●Always turn surface burner to OFF before removing utensil.

●Carefuliy watch foods being fried at HI flame setting.

●Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet which is necessary for the range to operate properly w~ithcorrect combustion.

. Do not we a wok on the

cooking surface if the wok has a round metal ring which is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

●Foods for frying shouki be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubb~eup 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 cm cause spillovers when food is added.

o If a combination of’oils or

fats will be used in frying, stir ~ogetherbefore heating, or as fats

melt slowly.

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

*Use deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fa[ beyond the smoking point.

●Use proper pan size-Avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food avoidingboilovers and spillovers, but large enough to cover burner grate. This wfll both save cleaning 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.

●Use only glass cookware that

is recommended for use on gas burners.

●Keep all plastics away from top burners.

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

●When flaming foods under

the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.

●If range is ~ocated near a window, do not use long curtains which could blow over the top burners and create a fire hazard.

●When a pilot goes out, (on models so equipped), you will detect a faint odor of gas as your signal to relight pilot. When relighting pilot, make s~ie burner controls are in OFF position and follow instructions described on following pages to relight.

●If you smell gas, and you have already made sure pilo[s are lit, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

Wasting

●Do not use oven for a storage area.

*Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air or steam which escapes can cause bums to hands, face andlor eyes.

●Keep oven free from grease buildup.

s Place oven shelves in desired position while oven is COOL

●Pulling out shelf to the shelf 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.

●Don’t heat unopened food containers in the oven. Pressure could build up and the container,<. could burst causing an injury. ‘~

●Don’t 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 direction.

*Use only glass cookware that is re&mmended for use in gas ovens.

*Aiv7aysremove broiler pan from broiler compartment 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.
