Do not use water or flour on grease fires.
Smother the fire with a pan lid, baking
soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Operation of the Surface Burners.
When the burners are operated for the first
time, a small amount of smoke may be generated due to tape residue or manufac-
turing lubrication,
this is not dangerous.
Operate the burners for about five min-
utes to rid the burners of this material before cooking.
Use only dry potholders.
Wet or damp potholders on hot surfaces could result in
burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating areas. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
Use proper flame size.
Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge
of the cookware. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the
burner flame and may result in severe burns or direct contact and ignition of cloth-
ing. Also, proper relationship of cookware to burner will improve efficiency.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover
an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil.
Doing so blocks air
flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil
linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Refer to the cleaning section of
this manual for more information on the use of aluminum foil.
Placement of oven racks:
Always place an oven rack in the desired location
while the oven is cool. If a rack must be moved when the oven is hot, use pothold-
ers and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact
hot oven walls. Remove all cookware from the rack before moving.
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Build-up of pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.
Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
The oven vent is located along the bot-
tom of the back guard. Touching the surfaces in the vent area when the oven is
being operated may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensi-
tive items on or near the oven vents. These items could melt or ignite. The range
requires fresh air for proper burner combustion. Do not block the flow of air around
the base or beneath the lower front panel of the range.
Use care when opening oven door: Stand to the side of the oven when open-
ing the oven door.
Slowly open the door to allow hot air or steam to escape
before removing or replacing food.
Know which knob controls each burner.
Place a pan of food on the burner be-
fore turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan. Always turn to
the full position when igniting top burners. Then adjust the flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
