Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on surface unit
by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid,
cookie
sheet or flat tray or, if available, a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering with baking soda, or if available, a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Flame in oven can be smothered completely by
closing the oven door and pressing the
CLEAWOFF
pad or use a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
Do not cook on a broken glass cooktop.
Spillovers
or cleaning solution may penetrate a
broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately
should your cooktop become broken.
Use care when touching the cooktop.
The
glass
surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
Do not touch surface units.
These surfaces may
be hot enough
to
burn even though they are d~k,
in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact
surface units or areas nearby surface units; allow
sufficient time for cooling, first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and
areas facing the cooktop.
. When cooking pork,
follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least
170°F.
This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat.
Oven
Stand away from the range when opening the
oven door. Hot air or steam, which escapes, can
cause burns to hands, face
ancUor
eyes.
Do not heat unopened food containers.

could burst, causing an injury.

Keep the oven free from grease
buildup.
Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool.

convenience
in
lifting heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom or the cooktop, except as suggested in
manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in electric shock or fire.

follow the manufacturer’s directions.
Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

overheated, they can catch fire.
Be sure the vent duct is not covered and is in
place.
Its absence during cooking could damage
