WARNING!

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and

requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon

monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primaril 9 by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properl9 adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped, Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid 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 can be eosifg grasped and remain cool,

_;i:,:Always use the Lite position when igniting the

top burners and make sure the burners have

ignited.

_::Never leave the surface burners unattended at

high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

_i:,:Adjust the top burner flame size so it

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

_t_:_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

is designed for top-of-range cooking,

_:::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.

_:::Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

_i_Always heat fat slowlg, and watch as it heats. _: 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_::If a 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.

;_::,: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.

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

flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

_i:,:Do not use a wok on the cooking surface ifthe

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 improperlg, This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that

allowed by current standards, resulting in a

health hazard.

_t_:_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, especiallg

a deep fat frye[ 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.

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

burners.

;_i:,: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.

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

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

_t::_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.

;_i:,:Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner

models, Lifting the cooktop can lead to

damage and improper operation of the range.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheatthe oven if the recipe callsfor it.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct

temperature. Preheating is necessary for good resultswhen baking cakes,cookies,

pastry and breads.

Forovenswithout a preheat indicator light or tone,preheat i0 minutes.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foilon the bottom of the oven.

Never entirely cover a shelfwith aluminum foil.Thiswilldisturb the heat circulation and

result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a

spillover by placing it ona lower shelf several inches below the food.

Oven Moisture

Asyour oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause

water droplets to form on the door glass.

These droplets are harmless and will

evaporate asthe oven continues to heat up.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible.

Pansshould not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to usetwo shelves,

stagger the pans soone isnot directly above the other,and leave approximately 1VS'

between pans,from the front, back and sides of the wall.
