Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than the grate or with one that spans more than one burner, such as a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This can result in poor combustion that generates harmful
Use caution to insure that drafts like those from forced air vents or fans do not blow flammable material toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pot.
Always use utensils that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized utensils could expose a portion of the flame and may result in ignition of clothing.
Do not use flammable cleaners to clean the range.
To minimize the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spill- age, position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the range's cooktop.
Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turn- ing food.
DO NOT use pots or pans on the grill section.
Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote
The optional cutting board accessory must be removed before operating the griddle beneath or burners adjacent to it.
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect. Clean after each use.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the igniter ports clean. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light even though the electronic igniters activate. See “Cleaning Recommendations ” on Page 40.
WARNING
After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and clean around the burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.
Clean the range with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the range while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.
Be sure all cooktop controls are turned off and the cooktop is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the cooktop. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to cor- rode.
When using the oven: DO NOT TOUCH THE BROILER ELEMENT, THE INTE-
RIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR THE EXTERIOR AREA IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING THE DOOR. Interior oven surfaces become hot enough to cause burns. The heat deflector, which deflects heat away from the cooktop and the trim on the top and sides of the oven door, will also be hot when the oven is in use.
