.....Do not use water on grease fires. Never

pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls

ore Smother a flaming paxl on a surfhce

unit by covering the pan completely with a

well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or fiat tray. Use

a multi-purpose d Uchemical or foam-type

.....Do not touch the surfhce units, the heating

elements or the inmrior sur[hce of the oven.

These surfhces may be hot enough m bum

even though they are dark in color. During

and _ter use, do not touch, or let clothing

or other flammable materials contact the

surfhce units, areas nearby the sur[hce units

or any interior area of the oven; allow

sutJ[icient time for coolirg first.

Potentially hot surfhces include the

Cookmeat andpoultry thoroughly--meat toat leastan INTERNALtemperatureof 160%andpoultry toat least

an INTERNALtemperatureof 180°ECookingto thesetemperaturesusuallypmtectsagainstfoodbomeillness.

SURFACECOOKINGUNITS

Useproper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface un#

heating element. Theuse of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also

improve efficiency.

.....Never leave the surfhce units unattended

at high heat settings. Boilovel_ cause smokirg

and ,oeasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

.....Do not use aluminum fbil to line the

drip pans or anywhere in the oven, except

as described in this manual. Misuse could

result in a shock, fire hazard or damage

to the range.

.....Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct

are not covered and are in place. Their

absence during cooking could damage

range parts and winng.

.....Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are

suitable for cooktop ser\,ice; others may

break because of the sudden change in

temperature.

.....To mir_imize the possibility of bums, i_ition

of flammable materials and spillage, file

handle of a container should be turned

toward the center of file range without

exmnding over nearby sur[hce units.

Always turn the surfhce units off before 3

IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION.

READALLINSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.

SURFACECOOKINGUNITS(cont.)

Do not immerse or soak the removable

surfhce units. Do not put them in a

dishwasher

When preparing flaming foods under

the hood, turn the fan on.

To avoid the possibility of a burn or

electric shock, always be certain that the

controls for 'all surface units are at the

OFFposition and all coils are cool before

attempting to lift or remove a unit.

Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet

sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot

cookmp, be careful m avoid steam burns.

Keep an eye on foods being flied at high

or medium high heat settings.

.....Foods for flTing should be as dUas

possible. Frost on flozen foods or moisture

on flesh foods can cause hot fht to bubble

up and over the sides of the pan.

.....Use little fat for elfective shallow or deep

fat flying. Filling the pan too full of fht can

cause spillovers when food is added.

.....If a combination of oils or fhts will be used

in flying, stir together before heating, or as

fats meh slowly.

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

.....Use a deep fht thermometer whenever

Aluminum cookware conducts heat fasmr

than other metals. Cast-iron and coamd

cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb

heat, but generally cook evenly at low m

medium heat settings. Smel pans m W

cook unevenly if not combined with

other met_fls.

For best cooking results, pans should be

fiat on the bottom. Match the size of the

saucepan m the size of the surface unit.

The pan should not exmnd over the

edge of the surface unit more than 1".

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Wok Cooking

Werecommendthatyouuseonlya flat-bottomed

wok.Theyareavailableatyourlocalretailstore.

Do not use woEs dlat have support rings.

Placing the ring over the surface unit will

cause a buildup of heat that will damage

the porcelain cookmp.

Do not use round bottom woks. You

could be seriously burned if the wok

Home Canning Tips

Be sure the canner is centered over the

surface unit.

Make sure the canner is fiat on the
