when igniting the top burners
and
make

Bame
size so it
does
not
extend beyond the edge
of
the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.

pot
holders—moist
ar
damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from

potholders
come
near open
flames
when
~ng
cookware. Do not use a towel or
other
buky
cloth

*
Carefully
wakh
foods being fried at a high

N~ver
block
the
vents
(air openings} of the

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 tap and bottom of
the oven door, and at the
battom
of the range
under
the
broiler drawer
or
storage drawer.
*
Do
not
use a wok on
models
with sealed burners
if the wok has a round metal
ring
that is
placed
over the burner grate
to
support the wok. This
ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the
burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause
the
burner
to
work improperly. This may
cause
a
carbon monoxide level above that allowed by
current standards, resulting in a health hazard.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible,
Frost on frozen foods or
maisture
on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides
of the pan.
a
Use the least possible amount of fat for
eff~tive
shallow
or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan
too
full of fat can cause
spillovers
when food is added.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
