Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent
surface burners. Toreducetheriskofburns,ignitionofammablematerials,and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, the handle of a cookware
should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface burners.
Never leave the surface burners unattended. Boilovers may cause smoking,
greasyspill-oversmaycatchreorapanwhichhasboileddrymaymelt.
Do not place hands between the spring tension hinge and the oven door
frame when you are removing the oven door. Youcouldpinchyourngers.
Allow parts to cool to room temperature before touching or removing them
from the range. Whenasurfaceburnerisrstturnedoff,theburnerandgrateare
hot enough to cause burns.
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of fat or grease, which could
catch re. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface burner.
Exhaustfanventilatinghoodsandgreaseltersshouldbeclean.Donotallowfat
orgreasetoaccumulate.Greasydepositsinthefancouldcatchre.Refertothe
hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
Do not use a “cyclonic” range hood with this product. Some range hoods
circulate air by blowing downward toward the range top then drawing the air back
up into the hood. This creates a “cyclonic” air wash that is designed for electric
ranges only. A “cyclonic” hood may cause the burners of a gas range to operate
improperly.
Glazed cookware: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for rangetop service without
breaking, due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for rangetop use.
Do not place plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on top of the range. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders,
towelsorwoodenspoonscouldcatchreifplacedtooclosetotheame.
Do not use a wok equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner.
Because this ring traps heat, the burner and grate could be damaged. Also, the
burner may not work properly, creating a carbon monoxide level above current
health standards.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
