l
Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
l
Do not use the oven for storage.
l
Do not use aluminum foil to line reflector
pans, oven bottom, or any other part of
the range. Use aluminum foil only as
recommended
in this manual.
l
Never use a match or other flame to look
for a
gas
leak. Explosion and injury could
result.
l
Know where your main gas shutoff valve
is located.
When
using
the
cookto~
l
Make sure the utensils you use are large
enough to contain food and avoid
boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splatter-
ing or spillovers left on a range could
ignite and bum you. Pan size is espe-
cially important in deep fat frying.
*Check to be sure glass cooking utensils
are safe for use on the range. 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
Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings. A boilover could
result and cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that could ignite.
'-@-#ii&
*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
Do not use decorative covers or trivets
over the surface burners.
When
using
the oven
l
Always position the oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is cool.
l
Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Grease
l
Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cook-top or in
vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.
l
Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan by covering with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Fla,ming grease
outside of pan can be extinguished
with
baking soda or, if available, a multipur-
pose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Care and cleaning
l
Small amounts of formaldehyde
and
carbon monoxide are given off in the Self-
Cleaning cycle from fiberglass insulation
and food decomposition.
Significant
exposure to these substances could
cause cancer or reproductive
harm.
Exposure can be minimized by venting
with a hood or open window and wiping
out excess food spills prior to self-
cleaning.
l
Do not use oven cleaners. No commer-
cial oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
