Cleaning Safety; Save These Instructions - Maytag RV Cooking Appliance Use And Care Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
UTENSIL SAFETY
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily
grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily
tipped or loose handled pans. Pans that are heavy to move
when filled with food may also be hazardous.
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 volume of food that
is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do not
extend handles over
adjacent surface
burners. Always turn
pan handles toward the
side or back of the
appliance, not out into
the room where they
are easily hit or
reached by small
children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and
the appliance.
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven
cooking bags.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, or
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven usage
without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using
conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or
accessories that are not specifically recommended in this
manual. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units, stove
top grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The use of
devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended
in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in
performance problems, and reduce the life of the
components of the appliance.

CLEANING SAFETY

Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before
touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the burner grates or
surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns
if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND
WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to the State
of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning
of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due
primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid
petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can
also be minimized by properly venting the burners to the
outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room
where the appliance is located.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET
BIRDS. . .
Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the
fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very
sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an
oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds.
Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat,
margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be
equally harmful.
