WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover bumer grates. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain
the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since
heavy spattering orspillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped

and remain cooL

_{_Always use the LITEposition when ignidng

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with

Ybu can use aluminum foil to line tile

must mold the fi)il tightly to the grid and

cut slits in it just like the grid.

Oven Moisture

change of the air in the oven may cause

water droplets to titan on tile door glass.
These droplets are hamfless and will

e\:lporate as tile ()veil contintles to heat up.

Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in tile oven as Illtlch _lS

possible. Pans should not touch each other
or the wails of the oven. If you need to use

two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not
directly above the other; and leave

appro_mately 1½" between pans, from
the fl'ont, back and sides ot the wall.

Muminum fi)il may also be used to catch a
spillove_: To do so, place a small sheet of

toil on a lower shelf several inches below

the fi)od.
Never entirely cover a shelf with ahmfinum

toil. This will distm'b the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.
