WARNING j IN THEEVENTOFA FIRE,TAKETHEFOLLOWING STEPS
TO PREVENT THE FIRE FROM SPREADING:
*:, Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a
flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming
pan on a surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat
tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
*:, If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the
fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the
oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force
the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean
temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the
oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
severe burns.
iA WARNING j COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a
deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of
oil when shallow pan-frying and avaid caaking frazen
foads with excessive amounts of ice.
Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating
element. The use of undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Properrelationship of
cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
