When broiling,
always remember to
remove the broiler pan from the range
and clean it when you are done cook-
ing. If you leave a broiler pan full of
grease in the range and later use the
oven, you may have a broiler fire.
Never use aluminum foil to line drip
bowls or oven bottoms, except as sug-
gested on pages 13, 14 and 23 of this
manual. Improper use of these liners
may create a fire hazard.
PUTTING OUT A GREASE FIRE
It is a good idea to have a dry
chemical, foam or Halon type fire ex-
tinguisher where you can easily reach
it in case of a cooking fire. A Halon
extinguisher will not spoil the food
and makes no mess.
Never use water on a grease fire - it
will only spread the flames. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Instead:
1. Turn off the heating element.
2. Smother the fire with a tightly fit-
ting pan lid, baking soda or an ex-
tinguisher.
How to put out a liquid grease
fire
with a fire extinguisher.
1. Stand back 5 or 6 feet.
2. Open the extinguisher.
3. Starting at the flames closest to
you, move the extinguisher side to
side and work back until all flames
are out.
CAUTION: If you bring the ex-
tinguisher too close you may blow
burning grease all over the cooking
area.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
Always remove the oven racks, the
broiler pan and other utensils before a
self-cleaning cycle.
Never use any type of commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating
in or around any part of your oven. Do
not use any type of aerosol product
near your range because the chemical
that produces the spraying action,
may, in the presence of heat, cause
metal parts to corrode and could be
flammable.
The door gasket is essential for a good
seal so care should be taken not to rub,
damage, or move the gasket. Clean
only with hydrogen peroxide. See page
26.
Clean only range parts listed in this
manual. See each module section and
pages 25-28 for special cleaning in-
structions.
Never try to clean other objects in the
oven during a self-cleaning cycle unless
recommended in the instructions.
VENTILATING FANS
Never let grease accumulate on ven-
tilating hoods or filters - be sure to
clean them frequently.
Always turn the ventilating fan off
when intentionally flaming foods such
as Cherries Jubilee on the open coil or
solid element modules. If the fan is
operating it may spread the flame.
