WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstobfe or eosify tipped, Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To ovoid spiffovers, 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 or spiffovers left on range con ignite, Use pans with handles that con be
easily grasped and remain cool,

;_):,:Always use the LITE position when igniting the

top burners and make sure the burners have

ignited.

_t:::Never leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boiloverscause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

_t:::Adjust the top burner flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

;_i:,:Use only dry pot holders- moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holders come near

open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot

holder.

_i:,:When using glass cookware, make sure it

isdesigned for top-of-range cooking.

_t:::To minimize the possibilitg of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back

of the range without extending over adjacent
burners.

;_i:,:Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

:_ Always heat fat slowlg, and watch as it heats.
_t_:_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.

_t::_Ifa combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating or
as fats melt slowlg.

;_i:,:Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

_t::_Usethe 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.

;_):,:Do not flame foods on the cooktop. Ifyou do

flume foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

_t_:_Do not use a wok on the cooking surface

if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner grate to support the

wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may
damage the burner grate and burner head.

Also, it may cause the burner to work

improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by current

standards, resulting in a health hazard.

;_::,: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.

_t_:_Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer, Wait until the fat is cool.

;_i:,:Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

;_::,:Keep all plastics away from the surface

burners.

_::To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are
at the OFF position and all grates are cool

before attempting to remove them.

_::If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and create a fire hazard.

;_i:,:If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range

and call a qualified service technician. Never

use an open flame to locate a leak.

;_):,:Always turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.

_:_Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop

can lead to damage and improper operation
of the range.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

ELECTRICWARMING DRAWER

REMEMBER"The inside surface of the drawer

may be hot when the drawer isopened.

_t_:_Use care when opening the drawer. Open

the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.

Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

;_i:,:Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer.

Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will
trap heat beneath it. This will upset the

performance of the drawer and it could
damage the interior finish.

COOKMEATAND POULTRYTHOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoraughly-meat to at least an INTERNALtemperature of ff60°F and poultry
to at least an INTERNALtemperature of J80°E Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodbome illness.
