When using the cooktop
l
Make sure the utensils you use are large
enough to contain food and avoid
boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splatter-
ing or spillovers left on a range could
ignite and bum you. Pan size is espe-
cially important in deep fat frying.
l
Check to be sure glass cooking utensils
are safe for use on the range. Only
certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
l
Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings. A boilover could
result and cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that could ignite.
l
Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface burners. This will help
reduce the chance of burns, igniting of
flammable materials, and spills due to
bumping of the pan.
l
Do not use decorative wvers or trivets
over the surface burners.
When using the oven
l
Always position the oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is cool.
l
Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Grease
l
Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop or in
vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.

cleaning oven model. No commercial

coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.

tial for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or move the seal.

pose dry chemical or foam-type extin-
guisher.
