o Do not use a wok on models with sealed burners
if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed
over the burner grate to support
the wok.. This
ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the
burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the
burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide
level above that allowed by current
standards,
resulting in a health hazard.
o Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can
cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
o Use the least possible amount
of fat for effective
shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too
full
of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
o If a combination
of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt
slowly.
o Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.
o Use a deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to
prevent overheating fat beyond the smoldng point.
o Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
o When
using glass cookware,
make sure it is
designed for top-of-range
cooldng.
Use proper pan size. Avoid pans that are unstable or
easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to properIy contain food and avoid
boilovers and spillovers and large enough to cover
burner grates. This will both save cleaning time and
prevent hazardous accumulations
of food, since heavy
spattering or spillovers left on the range can ignite.
Use pans with handles 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 cooktop--
they may melt if left too
close to the vent.
Vent appearance and Iocation vary.
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.
° To avoid the possibility
of a burn, always be
certain that the controls
for all burners
are at the
OFF position
and all grates are cool before
attempting
to remove them.
o When flaming foods are under the hood, nLrn the
fan off. The fan, ff 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
standing
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
position,
and follow instructions
in the Installation
Instructions
to relight.
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.
