Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan.
Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering it with baking soda or, if available, by
using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven off
or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foarn-
type fue extinguisher.

range broiler or storage drawer or near a cooktop.

When cooking pork,
follow the
directions exactly
and always cook the meat to an internal temperature
of at least 170°F.This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be present in the meat,
it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

cookware handles toward theside-or back of the
range without extending over adjacent burners.

Always turn the surface burners to off before '.',
removing cookware.
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
* Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They
provide the air inlet and outlet that
are necessary for the range to operate properly
with correct combustion. Air openings are located
at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of
the oven door, and at the bottom of the range
under the broiler drawer.
* Do&Muse
a wok on models with sealed burners
if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed
over the burner grate to support the wok. This
ring acts as a heat
trap, which
may damage the
burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause
the burner to work improperly. This may cause a
carbon monoxide level above that allowed by
current standards, resulting
in
a health hazard.
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 the sides
of the pan.
.
4)
Use the least possible amount of fat for effective ' .-
shallow or deep-fat frykg. Filling the pan too
full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
