Surface Cooking Units:
Use Proper Pan Size-This
appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of different
size. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils
will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct con-
tact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
.
Never leave surface units
unattended at high heat setilngs.
Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire.
Be sure drip pans and vent
ducts are not covered and are
in place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range
~parts and wiring.

Self-Cleaning Oven:
Q Do not clean door gasket
The door gasket is essentiai for
a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
Do not use oven cleaners.
No commercial oven cleaner or"
oven liner protective coating of
any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
Clean only parts fisted in this
Use and Care Book.
.
Before self-cteaning the oven,
remove broiler paII and other
utensils.
Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed containers
are suitable for range-top ser-
vice; others may break because
of the sudden change in tem-
perature (See Section on "Sur-
face Cooking" fur suggestions.)
.
To minimize burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spill-
age; the handle of a container
should be positioned so that it is
turned toward the center of the
range without extending over
nearby surface units.
Don't immerse or soak
removable surface units. Don't
put them in a dishwasher.
.
Always turn surface unit to
OFF before removing utensil.
.
Keep an eye on foods being
fried at HIGH or MEDIUM
HIGH
heats.
.
To avoid the possibility of a
bum or electric shock, always
be certain that the controls for
all surface units are at OFF posi-
tion and all coils are cool before
attempting to remove the unit.
o When framing foods under
the hood, turn the fan off. The
fan, if operating, may spread
the flame.
@ 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.
o Use little fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying. Fill-
ing 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
over-heating fat beyond the
smoking point.
