xMP©RTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTgONS (continued)

Oven

Stand away from range when

opening oven doon Hot air or steam which escapes can cause

burns to hands, face and/or

eyes.

* Don't heat unopened food

containers in the oven. Pressure could buiM up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

* Keep oven vent duct

unobstructed.

* Keep oven free from grease

buildup.

* Place oven shelf in desired position while oven is cool. If

shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact

heating units in the oven.

* Pulling out shelf to the shelf stop is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a

precaution against burns from

touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

When using cooking or

roasting bags in oven, follow

the manufacturer's directions.

o Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they

can catch fire.

Se_f-Cileaning Oven * Do not clean door gasket.

The door gasket is essential for a good seat. Care should be taken

not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

* Do not use oven cleaners. No

commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any

kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

* Use IRfle 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 used in frying, stir

together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

Questions & Answers

iQ. May I can foods and preserves

A. Yes, but only use cookware

Check the manufacturer's

instructions and recipes for

preserving foods. Be sure canner is flat-bottomed and fits over the

canning generates large amounts of steam, be careful to avoid burns

from steam or heat. Canning should only be done on surface units.

Q. Can I cover my drip pans with

foil? A. No. Clean as recommended in

Cleaning Guide.

Q. Can I use special cooking

on any surface units? A_ Cookware without flat surfaces

is not recommended. The life of your surface unit can be shortened

and the range top can be damaged from the high heat needed for this

Q. Why am I not getth_g the heat

fleeQ Iroln my um_s even mougn

I have the knobs on the right setting?

A. After turning surface unit off

and making sure it is cool, check to make sure that your plug-in units

are securely fastened into the

surtace connecuon.

Q. Why does my cookware tilt

A. Because the surface unit is not fl,_. Make sure that the "feet" on

your Calrod ®units are sitting tightly in the range top indentation

and the reflector ring is flat on the range surface.

Q. Why is the porcelain finish on my cookware coming off?.

A. If you set your Calrod ® unit higher than required for the

the finish may smoke, crack, pop, or burn depending on the pot or

pan. Also, a too high heat for long periods, and small amounts of dry food, may dan_age the finish.

Canning should be done on

surface units only.

In surface cooking, the use of pots extending more than 1-inch beyond

edge of surface unit's trim ring is

not recommended. However, when

canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling

water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to

cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface unit.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE

T AT_tt_]_ T'_TAM_T'_'D (_ANTNTT_Dq

OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER

POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING

FOODS OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures--

m_u a_ typ_ ui _uym_;-- _uur. ,at

temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such temperatures

could eventually harm cooktop surfaces surrounding surface units.

Observe Following Points in Canning

1. Be sure the canner fits over the

center of the surface unit If vonr

range or its location does not allow

the canner to be centered on the

surface unit, use smaller-diameter

pots for good canning results.

2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use canners with

flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) because they

don't make enough contact with the surface unit and take too long to

boil water.
