l
Do not operate the range if it is not
working properly, or if it has been
damaged.
l
Do not use the range for warming
or heating the room. Persons could
be burned or injured, or a fire
could start.
l
Use the range only for its intended
use as described
in this manual.
l
Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot surface burner and you could
be burned.
l
Do not touch surface burners,
areas near burners or interior sur-
faces of oven. Areas near surface
burners and interior surfaces of an
oven become hot enough to
cause burns. During use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flam-
mable materials contact surface
burners, areas near surface
burners or interior surfaces of
oven. Other surfaces of the range
may become hot enough to
cause burns; such as, the oven
vent opening, the surface near the
vent opening, the cooktop and
the oven door.
l
Make sure the utensils you use are
large enough to contain food and
avoid boilovers
and spill-avers.
Heavy splattering or spill-avers left
on a range can ignite and burn
you. Pan size is especially
impor-
tant in deep fat frying.
l
Turn pan handles inward, but not
over other surface burners. This will
help reduce the chance of burns,
igniting of flammable materials,
and spills due to bumping of
the pan.
l
Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on surface
burners may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch
surface burners. Do not use a
towel or bulky cloth for a pot-
holder. They could catch on fire.
l
Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
range. Only certain types of glass,
glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthen-
ware or other glazed utensils are
suitable for ranges without break-
ing due to the sudden change
in temperature.
l
Do not use decorative
covers or
trivets over the surface burners.
l
Do not heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause
injury
l
Grease is flammable
and should
be handled carefully. Let fat cool
before attempting to handle
it. Do not allow grease to collect
around cooktop or in vents. Wipe
spillovers immediately
l
Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on range by
covering with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside of pan can be
extinguished
with baking soda or,
if available, a multipurpose
dry
chemical
or foam-type
extinguisher.
l
Never leave surface burners
unattended
at high heat settings.
A boil-over could result and
cause smoking and greasy spill-
overs that may ignite.
l
Make sure surface burners are off
when you are finished, and when
you aren't watching.
