COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never leave the range unattended while a surface
burner is ON. Foods, especially oily foods,
may ignite resulting in fi re that could spread to
surrounding cabinets.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed
to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fi re that may spread to surrounding
cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fi re, use a minimum
amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid
cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that is
matched to the size of the burner. Burner fl ames
should be adjusted so that they do not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive fl ames may
be hazardous.
Always use the LITE position when igniting the top
burners and make sure the burners have ignited.
When using glass or ceramic cookware, make sure
it is suitable for cooktop service; others may break
because of sudden changes in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
fl ammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby burners.
When preparing fl aming foods under a hood, turn
the fan on.
Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring.
The ring may trap heat and block air to the burner
resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.
Do not attempt to lift the cooktop if your range has
sealed surface burners. Doing so may damage the
gas tubing to the surface burners resulting in a gas
leak and risk of fi re.
Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or
line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the
cooktop surfaces, or a potential fi re hazard.
WARNING - FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
Do not store or use fl ammable materials in an oven
or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot
holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and
gasoline or other fl ammable vapors and liquids.
Never wear loose-fi tting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. Avoid storing commonly used
items in cabinets above the range and be careful
when reaching over the range. Clothing in close
proximity to burners or hot surfaces may ignite
causing severe burns.
Do not let cooking grease or other fl ammable
materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease
in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or fi lter.
WARNING - IN CASE OF FIRE
In the event of a fi re, never pick up a fl aming pot
or pan. Turn the burner off if it is safe to do so.
Extinguish the fi re with a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Do not use water on grease fi res. Water will spread
the grease and will not extinguish the fi re. Smother
the fi re with a tight fi tting pot lid, cookie sheet or fl at
tray or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
If there is a fi re in the oven during baking, smother
the fi re by closing the oven door and turning
the oven off or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
