IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
,, Do not use water on grease lures. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the conn'ols 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
extinguishen
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering it with baking soda or, if available, by
using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguishm:
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing tile oven door and
turning tile oven offor by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguishen
,, DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
,, Do not let cooking grease or other flanmmble
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Clean drip trays and liners after every use.
'*If you smell gas, the ins'taller has not done a
proper,job of checking for leaks. You can have
a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if
the connections are not completely tight.
Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with
the burner control in the ON position and fbr
your protection it must be done by a qualified
service technician. Never use an open flame to
locate a leak.
'*If by some chance a burner goes out and gas
escapes, open a window or a door to let the
room air out. Do not attempt to use the
appliance until the gas has had time to
dissipate. Follow the instructions in What to do
if You Smell Gas.
,*Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of
the oven or cooktop. Using a foil liner could
result in a fire hazard or the obstruction of the
flow of combustion and ventilation ai_: Foil is
an excellent heat insulator and heat will be
trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can
upset the cooking performance and can
damage the finish of the oven or the cooktop.
SURFACE COOKING
* Do not heat unopened food containers; a
build-up of pressure may cause the container
to hurst.
* Set the burner control so that the flame heats
only the bottom of the pan and does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flame
is hazardous. The high BTU burners can easily
melt cookware handles.
* Hold the handle of the pan, using a dry pot
holder, to prevent movement of the utensil
when sdrring or turning food.
*Always heat fat siow_ and watch as it heats.
*Always use the LITE position when igniting
the surface burners and make sure the burners
have ignited, including the center simmer
flame.
,*Never leave the surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
If the burner flames are smothered by a severe
boilover which affects the ignitol; unhurned gas
will escape into the room.
,*Do not let pot holders come near open flames
when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
,*To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware
handles toward the side or back of the range
without extending over adjacent burners.
, Never Mock the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and oudet that
are necessary for the range to operate properly
with correct combustion. Air openings are
located at the top and bottom of the oven door,
drip ways, drip tray handle areas, backgaurd
vent area and area immediately surrounding
the top burners (burner pans).
