Q
Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats+
Use a deep-fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
Use proper pan size+ Avoid pans that are unstable or
easily tipped+ Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to properly 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 wil_ remain cool.
When using glass cookware, make sure it is
designed for top-of+range cooking.
Keep all plastics away from the top burners.
Do not leave plastic
items on the
cooktop--they may
melt if left too close
to the venL
Do not leave any
items on the
Vent appearance and location vary
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 under the hood, turn the
fan off..The fan, if operating, could spread the flames
• if 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
• 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..
