Clean hood frequently to prevent grease
from accumulating on hood or filter.
When flaming foods under the hood
turn the fan on.
NEVER
wear garments made of
flammable material or loose fitting or
long-sleeved apparel while cooking.
Clothing may ignite or catch utensil
handles.
U
TENSIL
S
AFETY
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles
that are easily grasped and stay cool.
Avoid using unstable, warped, easily
tipped or loose-handled pans. Also
avoid using pans, especially small pans,
with heavy handles as they could be
unstable and easily tip. Pans that are
heavy to move when filled with food
may also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to
properly contain food and avoid
boilovers. Pan size is particularly
important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan
will accommodate the volume of food
that is to be added as well as the
bubble action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil,
do not extend handles over adjacent
surface burners. Always turn pan
handles toward the side or back of the
appliance, not out into the room where
they are easily hit or reached by small
children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could
damage the utensil and the appliance.
Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop usage without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Follow manufacturer’s
instructions when using glass.
