When broiling, always remember to remove the broiler pan from the range and clean it when you are done cook- ing. If you leave a broiler pan full of grease in the range and later use the oven, you may have a broiler fire.
Never use aluminum foil to line drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as sug- gested on pages 13, 14 and 23 of this manual. Improper use of these liners may create a fire hazard.
PUTTING OUT A GREASE FIRE
It is a good idea to have a dry chemical, foam or Halon type fire ex- tinguisher where you can easily reach it in case of a cooking fire. A Halon extinguisher will not spoil the food and makes no mess.
Never use water on a grease fire - it will only spread the flames. Never pick up a flaming pan. Instead:
1.Turn off the heating element.
2.Smother the fire with a tightly fit- ting pan lid, baking soda or an ex- tinguisher.
How to put out a liquid grease fire with a fire extinguisher.
1.Stand back 5 or 6 feet.
2.Open the extinguisher.
3.Starting at the flames closest to you, move the extinguisher side to side and work back until all flames are out.
CAUTION: If you bring the ex- tinguisher too close you may blow burning grease all over the cooking area.
Always remove the oven racks, the broiler pan and other utensils before a
Never use any type of commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating in or around any part of your oven. Do not use any type of aerosol product near your range because the chemical that produces the spraying action, may, in the presence of heat, cause metal parts to corrode and could be flammable.
The door gasket is essential for a good seal so care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. Clean only with hydrogen peroxide. See page 26.
Clean only range parts listed in this manual. See each module section and pages
Never try to clean other objects in the oven during a
VENTILATING FANS
Never let grease accumulate on ven- tilating hoods or filters - be sure to clean them frequently.
Always turn the ventilating fan off when intentionally flaming foods such as Cherries Jubilee on the open coil or solid element modules. If the fan is operating it may spread the flame.
