position when igniting top burners. Then adjust the flame size so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface
burners. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable 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 fire 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 fingers.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow
dripping fat or grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat
of the broiler. Do not
cover the insert with foil. Exposed fat or grease could ignite.
Allow parts to cool to room temperature before touching or removing them from
the range. When a surface burner is first 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
fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface burner. Exhaust fan
ventilat
ing hoods and grease filters should be clean. Do not allow fat or grease to
accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. 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 r
anges 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 m
elt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden
spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the flame.
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.
