SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

After prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures may result. Many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Before installing your range on linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand 100*' without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of %" thick plywood or similar insulator is placed between the range and carpeting. Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation. Never use your appliance for heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not be operated without cookware. Do not let cooking grease accumulate in or near the range. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.

Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well fitting lid. Do not use water on grease fires. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with

baking soda, multipurpose dry chemicai. or fire extinguisher. Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using baking soda, multipurpose dry chemical, or fire extinguisher. Do not store or use combustable materials in an oven, broiler, storage drawer, or near the cooktop. Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact

with flames or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.

Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and

greasy spillovers may catch fire. Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive

flame is hazardous.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS continued...

Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without letting them extend over

adjacent burners, to minimize the possibility of burns. Always turn the surface burners to OFF before removing cookware. 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. 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 caused in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt

slowly. Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats. Use a deep-fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point. 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 boitovers and spillovers. Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst. Do not use the oven as a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite. Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape

can cause bums to hands, face, and eyes. . Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Place the oven shelves in the desired position while the oven is cool. Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst,

causing an injury. Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven except as described in the manual. Misuse could

result in a fire hazard or damage to the range. When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer instructions. Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens. When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups. Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor

baking.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. It is recommended that you operate the oven for a number of weeks to become familiar with your new ovens performance.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on. Close the oven door. Turn the oven set knob to the temperature you desire. Check the food for doneness at the minimum time on the recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Turn the oven set knob to off and then remove the food. Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven, The hot air and steam that escape

can cause burns to hands, face, and eyes.
