Surface Cooking
• Always use the LITE position (on models with
electric %nîtion) or the HI position (on models
with standing pilots) when igniting the top
burners and make sure the burners have ignited.
• Never leave the surface burners unattended at
ygh flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive
flame is hazardous.
• Use only dry pot holders —^moist or damp pot holders
on hot suifaces may result in burns from steam.
• Do not let pot holders come near open flames
when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
• To minimize the possibility of bums, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware
handles toward the side or back of the range without
letting them extend over adjacent burners.
« Always turn the surface burners to OFF before
removing cookware,
® CarefijUy watch foods being fried at a high flame
setting.
« Never block the vents (air openings) of the range.
They provide the air inlet and oudet that are
necessary for the range to operate properly with
correct combustion. Air openings are located in the
following places:
-—Oven vent at the rear of the cooktop.
—Air intake under the broiler drawer.
—Air vent at the top of the oven door.
