=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 standards, resulting in a heaith
hazard.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible, Frost
on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause
hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan,
° Use the least possible amount of fat for effective
shallow or deep fat frying. Fillingthe pan too full
of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.,
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt stowly.
• Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.
, Use a deep4at thermometer whenever possible to
prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point°
o Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed
for top-of-range cooking.
. Use proper pan size. Avoid pans that are unstable or
easily tipped, Select cookware having flat bottoms large
enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers
and spillovers and large enough to cover burner grates.
This wilt both save cleaning time and prevent
hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy
spattering or spillovers left on the range can ignite.
Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped
and will remain cool.
, Keep all plastics away from the top burners.
° Do not leave plastic
items on the
cook'top--they may
melt if left too close
to the vent,
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air
from the vent may ignite flammable items and wilt
increase pressure in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst,
To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain
that the controls for all burners are at the OFF
position and all grates are cool before attempting
to remove them.
When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan
OFF. The fan, if operating, may spread the flames.
tf the range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the top burners and
create a fire hazard°
