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.

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.

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

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

children.

22. A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak, If a gas odor is detected,

shut off the gas supply to the range, Call your installer or local gas company to have the possible leak checked. Never use a match or other flame to locate a gas leak.
