WARNING!
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
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.
Always use the
LITE
position when igniting
top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
Never leave surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boil over causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of teh
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
Use only dry pot holdersmoist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces 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 burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back
of the range without extending over
adjacent burners.
Always turn the surface burner to
OFF
before removing the cookware.
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air
openings are located at the rear of the
cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven,
and at the bottom of the range.
Foods for frying should be as dry as
possible. Frost and frozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over sides of the pan.
Use 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.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn
the fan on.
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.
When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
Keep all plastics aways from 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.
Should you have a grease fire, turn the fan
off. The fan, if operating, may spread the
flames.
If range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over
the top burners and create a fire hazard.
Keep range clean and free of accumulations
of grease or spillovers, which may ignite.
Be careful when you clean the cooktop
because the area over the cooktop will be
hot.
