by covering wit
pan on cooktop
a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside of an can be
extinguished
with g aking soda or,
if available,
a multipurpose dry
chemical
or foam-type
extinguisher.
l
Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heat-
ing elements. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth for a potholder. They
could catch on fire.
l
Select a pan with a flat bottom
that is about the same size as the
surface unit. If pan is smaller than
the surface unit, some of the heat-
ing element will be exposed and
may result in the igniting of
clothing or potholders. Correct
pan size also improves cooking
efficiency.
l
Never leave surface units unat-
tended at high heat settings. A
boil-over could result and cause
smoking and greasy spill-overs
that may ignite.
l
Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
cooktop. Only certain types of
glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic,
earthenware
or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktops
without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature.
l
Turn pan handles inward, but not
over other surface units. This will
help reduce the chance of burns,
igniting of flammable
materials,
and spills due to bumping of the
pan.
l
Use care when opening oven
door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing
food.
