Important Safety Instructions
Continued
l
Turn pan hand!es inward, but not
over other surface units. This will
help reduce the chance of burns,
igniting of flammable materials, and
spills due to bumping of the pan.
l
Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth for a potholder. They
could catch on fire.
* Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
range. Only certain types of glass,
glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden change
in temperature.
l
Do not heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause
injury.
l
Grease is flammable and should
be handled carefully. Let fat cool
before attempting to handle it. Do
not allow grease to collect around
cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill-
overs immediately.
l
Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on range by
covering with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda or, if
available, a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam-type extin-
guisher.
l
Never leave surface units unat-
tended at high heat settings. A boil-
over could result and cause
smoking and greasy spill-overs that
may ignite.
* Make sure surface units are off
when you are finished, and when
you aren’t watching.
l
Use care when opening oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
l
Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is cool.
If rack must be removed while
oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact hot heating element in
oven.
l
Do not store flammable materials
on or near the range. They could
explode or burn.
