Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and m avoid
grease fires.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
otI, Smother a flaming pan on a surface
unit by coveling the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or fiat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dUchemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dU
chemical or fkmm-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-
purpose dUchemical or fkmm-type fire
extinguisher.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the x,icinity of this or any other
appliance.
Do not touch the surface units, the
heating elements or the interior surface
of the oven. These surfaces may be hot
enough m burn even though they are
dark in color. During and 'atter use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact, the surface units, areas
nearby the surface units or any interior
area of the oven. Allow sutiicient time for
cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the
cooktop, areas facing the cookmp, oven
vent opening, surfaces near the opening,
crex,ices around the oven door and metal

Be careful when reaching for items stored
over the range. Flammable material could
be ignited if brought in contact with
hot surface units or heating elements
and may cause severe burns.
@ Use only dUpot holdersimoist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns flom steam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot sm_hce units or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth.
For your s_ety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
Do not let cooking _ease or other
flammable materials accumulam in
or near the range.
@Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings

OVEN
Stand awayflom the range when opening
the oven (loot- Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could buiM up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
Keep the oven flee flom grease buiMup.
Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heax T foods. It is also
a precaution against burns flom touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
When using cooking or roasting bags in
the oven, follow the manufacturer's
directions.
Do not use the oven to d_T newspapers.

SURFACECOOKINGUNITS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use 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 surf`ace units unatmnded
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
Do not use aluminum fkfil m 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 (luring cooking could damage
range parks and wiring.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for cookmp serx,ice; others
may break because of the sudden change
in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the handle of a container
should be turned toward the center of
the range without exmnding over nearby
surface units.
@ Always turn the surf`ace units off before
remox,ing cookware.
Do not immerse or soak the removable
surf`ace units. Do not put them in a
dishwasher
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you
do flame foods under the hood, turn the
f`an on.
Always heat f`atslowly, and watch as it
heats.
@
@
@
@
To avoid the possibility of a burn or
electric shock, always be certain that the
controls fk)r all surf`ace units are at the
OFFposition and all coils are cool befk_re
attempting to lift or remove a unit.
Clean the cookmp with caution. If a wet
sponge is used m wipe spills on a hot
cookmp, be careful m avoid steam burns.
Keep an eye on foods being fiied at high
or medium high heat settings.
Foods for fiTing should be as d Uas
possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture
on fresh fk)ods can cause hot f`at m bubble
up and over the sides of the pan.
Use little fat for effe.cdve shallow or deep
fat ruing. Filling the pan mo full of f`atcan
cause spillovers when fk)od is added.
If a combination of oils or f`ats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or
as fats melt slowly.
Use a deep f`atthermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating f`atbeyond
the smoking point.
Carefully watch for spillovers or
overheating of foods when fiTing at
high or medium high temperatures.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat,
especially a deep f`atfiTer. Wait until the
f`at is cool.
Do not allow water, other liquids or
grease to remain on the cookmp or
the control panel.

Surface Cookware Tips
Use medium- or heaxy-weigbt cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coamd
cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb
beat, but generaUy cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Smel pans m W
cook unevenly if not combined with
other metals.
For best cooking results, pans should be
flat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan to the size of the surfime unit.
The pan should not extend over the
edge of the surfime unit more than 1".
Use only flat-bottomed woks.

weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the
thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

Thetypeofmargarine will affect bakingperformance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result ff cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. Thelower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" m contain at least 80% fat by weight. Iz)w fat spreads, on file
other hand, contain less fat and more wamr The high moisture content of these spreads _fffect the mxture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margmJne, burrer or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil. 9
