chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8. Useonly dry potholders. Moistor damp potholderson hot surfaces
mayresult in bums from steam. Do not use atowel or other bulky
cloth.
9. Select cookware large enough to properly contain food and avoid
boilovers or spillovers. This will save on cleaning and prevent
hazardousaccumulationsoffood,sinceheavysplatteringorspillovers
left on a range can ignite. Pan size isespecially important indeep
fat frying.
10. Never leave rangeunattended at Hi heatsettings. Boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
11.TYPE OF COOKWARE - Avoid pans that are unstable and easily
tipped, tn choosing pans, lookfor easily-grasped handles that will
stay cool. Pansthat are too heavy when filled with food canalso be
a hazard. Ifpan handles twistand cannot be tightened,discard the
pan.
5
12. HANDLES - Always turn pan handles to the side orback of the range
- not out into the room where they are easily hit. COOKWARE
HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED INWARD AND NOT EXTEND
OVER ADJACENT SURFACE BURN ERS to minimize burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the cookware.
13. CAUTION - Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets
above range-children climbing on the range to reach items could be
seriously injured.
14. Do not touch surface burner areas or perimeter area around cooktop
or interiorsurfaces of ovens. During and after use, these areas may
be hot enough to cause burns. Avoid contact with these areas by
clothing or other flammable materials untilthey have had sufficient
time to cool. Other surfaces may become hot enough to cause
burns-among these surfaces are the upper door frame and door,
oven vent opening and surfaces near the opening,and the top edge
of the control panel.
15. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause container to burst and result in injury.
16. Keep all controls "OFF" when unit is not in use.
17. GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully.
Never leave any cooking operation unattended. Let fat cool before
attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease to collect around the
range or in the vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.
18. Ifthe range is installednear a window, proper precautions should be
taken to prevent curtainsfrom blowing over burners creating a FIRE
HAZARD.
19. Do not use aluminum foil to line burner spillover bowl. Restriction of
normal air flow may result in unsafe operation.
20. Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures
recommended.
21. Always allow hot pans to cool ina safe place out of the reach of small
