Important Safety Instructions Continued

l Turn pan hand!es inward, but not over other surface units. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan.

l Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. They could catch on fire.

*Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the range. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen- ware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

l Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.

l Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease to collect around cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill- overs immediately.

lDo not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on range by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extin- guisher.

l Never leave surface units unat- tended at high heat settings. A boil- over could result and cause smoking and greasy spill-overs that may ignite.

*Make sure surface units are off when you are finished, and when you aren’t watching.

l Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

l Always position oven rack(s) in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be removed while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

l Do not store flammable materials on or near the range. They could explode or burn.
