GE XL44 JGBS09 Manual Del Propietario E Instrucciones De Instalación página 5

• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to
prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep
fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• 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 grate.
This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous
accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or
spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with
handles that can be easily grasped and 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 vent.
• 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.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
• If range is located near a window, do not hang long
curtains that could blow over the top burners and create
a fire hazard.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and
call a qualified service technician. Never use an open
flame to locate a leak.
• Never leave the kitchen while using the griddle.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the griddle. Misuse
could result in a fire hazard.
Baking, Broiling and Roasting
• Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Place the oven shelves in the desired position while
the oven is cool.
• Stand away from the range when opening the door
of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
Vent appearance and location vary.
• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf-stop is a convenience
in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against
burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or
oven walls. The lowest position "R" is not designed
to slide.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could
build up and the container could burst, causing an
injury.
• Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven
except as described in this manual. Misuse could
result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.
• Never use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.
Improper use of foil could start a fire.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,
follow the manufacturer's directions.
• Use only glass cookware that is recommended
for use in gas ovens.
• Always remove the broiler pan from range as soon
as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch
fire if oven is used without removing the grease from
the broiler pan.
• When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame, the
fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive
flare-ups.
• Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
• If you should have a grease fire in the broiler
pan, turn off oven control, and keep broiler compartment
and oven door closed to contain
fire until it burns out.
Cleaning Your Range
• Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.
• Keep range clean and free of accumulations of
grease or spillovers, which may ignite.
• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead
to damage and improper operation of the range.
