● Be sure the drip pans and vent ducts are not

covered and are in place. Their absence during

cooking could damage range parts

● Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans

or anywhere in the oven except as described in this book. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the range.

● Use 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.

● Always turn surface unit to OFF before

removing cookware.

●

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly

For
