range broiler or storage drawer, or near the

cooktop.

•Do not store or use

combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and fiquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

•Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

•When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°E (77°C.). This assures that, in the

remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

Surface Cooking

•Always use the LITE position (on models with electric ignition) or the HI position (on models with standing pilots) when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

•Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings, Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

•Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cook'ware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

•Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.

•Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.

•To minimize the possibility of burns, ignidon of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without letting them extend over adjacent burners.

•Always turn the surface burners to OFF before removing cookware,

•Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.

•Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with

correct combustion. Air openings are located in the following places:

--Oven vent at the rear of' the cooktop.

---_r intake under the broiler drawer. --Mr vent at the top of the oven door.
