IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use a wok If the wok has a round metal ring
that is placed over the burner grate to support the
wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage
the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause
the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by standards,
resulting in a health hazard
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost
on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause
hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
Use the least possible amount of fat for effective
shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full
of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used
In frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly
Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.
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.
When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed
for top-of-range cooking.
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 boiiovers
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 will remain cool.
• Keep ail 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. appearance and location гагу
The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items
and will increase pressure in dosed 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 are under the hood, turn the
fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flames.
• If the 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.
