and handles that are easily grasped
and stay cool. Avoid using unstable,
warped, easily tipped or loose
handledpans. Donot usepansif their
handles
twist
and
cannot be
tightened.Pans that are too heavy to
movewhen filled with food may also
be hazardous.
Always place a pan of food on a
surface burner before turning it on,
and turn it off before removing the
pan. Be sure you know which knob
controlseach surface burner.
Always turn pan handlesto the side
or back of appliance, not out into the
room where they are easily hit or
reached by small children. To
minimizeburns,ignitionof flammable
materials and spillage due to unin-
tentional contact with the utensil,do
not extend handles over adjacent
surface burners.
Be sure utensil is large enough to
properly contain food and avoid
boilovers. Pan size is particularly
important in deep fat frying. Be sure
pan will accommodate the volumeof
food that isto be added as well asthe
bubble action of fat. Never leave a
deepfat frying operationunattended.
Use extreme caption when moving
the greasekettle or disposingof hot
fat.
Always adjust surface burnersflame

bottom of utensil.This instructionis
based on safety considerations.
STORAGE A BOVE RANGE
To eliminate the hazard of reaching
over hot surface burners, cabinet
storage should
not be provided
directly above ,_ unit.
If such storageis provided,it should
be limited to items which are used
infrequently and which are safely
stored in an area subjectedto heat
from an appliance. Temperaturesin
storage areas above the unit may be
unsafe for some items, such as
volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol
sprays.
VENTILATING H OOD
To reduce the hazard of storage
above a range, install a ventilating
hood that projects at least 5 inches
beyond the bottom edge of the
cabinets. Clean hood frequently to
preventgrease from accumulating on
hood or its filter. Should a boiloveror
spillover result in an open flame,
immediatelyturn off thehood's fan to
avoid spreading the flame. After
thoroughly extinguishing flame, the
fan may be turned on to remove
unpleasantodor or smoke.
