Do not use water or our on grease res. Smotherthere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rst
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ve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 ame size. Adjustamesizesoitdoesnotextendbeyondtheedge
of the cookware. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the
burnerameandmayresultinsevereburnsordirectcontactandignitionofcloth-
ing.Also,properrelationshipofcookwaretoburnerwillimproveefciency.
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
owthroughtheovenandmaycausecarbonmonoxidepoisoning.Aluminumfoil
liningsmayalsotrapheat,causingare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ow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amesizesoitdoesnot
extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
