•Foods for frying should be as dry as possible, Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan,

°Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.,

•If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt stowly.

•Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.

,Use a deep4at thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point°

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

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

. 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 grates. This wilt both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the range can ignite.

Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and will remain cool.

,Keep all plastics away from the top burners.

°Do not leave plastic items on the

cook'top--they may melt if left too close

to the vent,

Vent appearance and location vary

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.

tf the 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 models with standing pilots), you will detect a faint odor of gas as your signal to retight the pilot. When relighting the pilot, make sure the burner controts are in the OFF position, and follow instructions in the Installation instructions

to relighL
