o When using glass cookware,
make sure it is
designed for top-of-range
cooking.
o Use proper pan size. Avoid pans that are unsta-
ble or easily tipped1 Select cookware having flat
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
accumula-
tions of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers
left on the range can ignite. Use pans with han-
dles that can be easily grasped and will remain
cool.
o Keep all plastics away
from the top burners.
o Do not
leave
plastic
items
on
the
cook-
top--they
may melt if
left too close to the vent.
o Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items
and will increase pressure in closed containers,
which may cause them to burst.
o To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
o
the off position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
o
o When flaming foods are under the hood, turn
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread
the flames.
o If the range is located near a window,
do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the top
burners and create a fire hazard_
• When a pilot goes out (on models with stand-
o
ing pilots), you will detect a faint odor of gas as
your signal to relight the pilot. When relighting the
pilot, make sure the burner controls are in the off
o
position, and follow instructions in the Installation
Instructions to relighto
o If you smell gas, and you have already made
sure 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.
Baking, Broiling and Roasting
o Do not use the oven for a storage
area. Items
stored in the oven can ignite,
o Stand away from the range when opening
the
door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that
escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes,
,, Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
o Place the oven shelves
in the desired
position
while the oven is cool.
Pulling
out the shelf
to the shelf-stop
is a
convenience
in lifting heavy foods.
It is also a
precaution
against
burns
from
touching
hot
surfaces
of the door or oven walls. The lowest
position
"R" is not designed
to slide.
Do not
heat unopened
food
containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
Do not use aluminum
foil anywhere
in the
oven
except
as described
in this
manual.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage to
the range_
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer's directions°
Use only glass cookware
that is recommend-
ed for use in gas ovens.
Always
remove
broiler
pan from the oven or
the broiler compartment
as soon as you finish
broiling.
Grease left in the pan can catch on fire if
oven is used without removing
the grease from
the broiler pan.
When
broiling,
if meat
is too
close to the
flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to pre-
vent excessive flare_ups°
Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires,
if you should have a grease fire in the broiler
pan, turn the oven off and keep the broiler compart-
ment door closed to contain fire until it burns out.
