Flame Size m Adjust flame
size so it does not extend beyond
the edge of the utensil.
The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion
of the
burner flame to direct
contact
and may result in ignition
of clothing.
Proper relationship
of utensil to flame will also
improve emciency.
* Know which knob controls each surface burner.
Place a
pan of food on the burner before turning
it on, and turn
the burner off: before removing
the pan.
Protective
Liners m DO NOT use aluminum
toll to llne the oven bottom.
Only

foil as
recommended
in this manual.
Improper
installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
* Use care when opening
oven door, warmer
drawer
or
lower oven door =
Stand to the side of the range when
opening
the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam
escape before you remove or replace

top burners.
Visually
check that burner has lit. Then adjust
the flame
so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the

* Utensil
handles
should be turned inward and not extend
over adjacent
surface burners
_
To reduce the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable
materials,
and spillage
due
to unintentional
contact
with the utensil, the handle of the
utensil should be positioned
so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent
surface burners.
* Never leave surface burners
unattended
at high heat
settings
_
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled
dry may melt.
* Glazed cooking
utensils =
Only certain
types of glass,
glass/ceramic,
ceramic,
earthenware,
or other glazed
utensils are suitable
for cook top service without
breaking
due to the sudden change
in temperature.
Check the
manufacturer's
recommendations
for cook top use.
* When you are flaming
foods under a ventilating
hood,
turn the fan on.
Air curtain
or other overhead
range hoods, which
operate
by blowing
a downward
air flow on to a range, shall not
be used in conjunction
with gas ranges other than when the
hood and range have been designed,
tested and listed by
an independent
test laboratory
for use in combination
with
each other.
* Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
The oven vent is
located
below the backguard.
Touching the surfaces in
this area when the oven is operating
may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat=sensitive
items on
or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
* Placement
of Oven Racks. Always
place oven racks in
desired
location
while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot use extreme caution.

Do not let
potholders
contact
the hot heating
elements in the oven.
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
• Do not use the broiler
pan without
its insert. The broiler
pan and its insert allow dripping
fat to drain and be kept
away from the high heat of the broiler.
