" Do not
use a wok on models
with sealed
burners
ff 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 pano
• Use the least
possible
amount
of fat for effective
shallow
or
deep fat frying. Filling
the pan too ful!
of fat can cause spillovers
when
food is added.
° If a combination
of oils or fats will be used
in
flying,
stir together
before heating
or as fits melt
slowly_
° Always
heat fat slowly
and watch
as it heats.
• Use a 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 unti! the fat is cool
° When
using
glass cookware,
make
sure it is
designed
for top-of-range
cooking.
• Use proper
pan size. Avoid pans that are unstable
or
easily tipped.
Select cookware
having fiat bottoms
large enough
to properly contain
food and avoid
boilovers
and spillovers
and large enough
to cover
burner
grates. This will both save cleaning
time and
prevent
hazardous
accumulations
of food, since heavy
spattering
or spillovers
left on the range can ignite.
Use pans with handles
that can be easily grasped
and
will remain cool
Do not
leave any items
on the cooktop.
The hot
air from the vent may ignite
flammable
items and
will increase pressure
in closed containe:s,
which
may
cause them
to burst.
" To avoid the possibility
of a burn, always be
certain that the controls
for all burners
are at the
OFF position
and all grates are cool before
attempting
to remove them.
• When flaming foods axe under the hood, turn the
fan off. The fan, ff operating, may spread the flames.
If the range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the top burners
and create a rite hazard.
° When
a pilot
goes out (on models
with
standing
pilots),
you will detect
a faint odor of gas as your
signal to relight
the pilot, When
retighting
the pilot,
make sure the burner
controls
are in the OFF
position,
and follow instructions
in the Installation
Instructions
to relight.
• If you smell gas, and you have already
made sine the
pilots are lit (on models with standing
pilots),
turn
off the gas to the range and call a qualified
service
technician.
Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

from the top burners.
• Do not leave plastic
