Place oven shelf in desired position while oven
is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do
not let pot holder contact heating units in the oven,

cover the surface unit heating element. The use of
undersized cookware will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to burner will also improve efficiency.
heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
Be sure drip pans are not covered and are in
place. Their absence during cooking could
damage range parts and wiring.
Don't use aluminum foil to line drip pans or
anywhere in the oven except as described in this
book. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard

units. Don't put them in a dishwasher.
When flaming foods are under the hood, turn
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread
the flame.
Never clean the cooktop surface when it is
hot. Some cleaners produce noxiotis fumes and
wet cloths could cause steam burns if used on a
hot surface.
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 sides
of pan.
Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
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.
