COOKINGUTENSILS I
ALUMINUM- Conductsheat quicklyi
and evenly. The heavier the gauge.!•
(thickness) the more durable.
Aluminum may discolorfrom alkaline
foods and pit from acid foods.
COPPE8- Very good heat conductor,
but discolors easily. Used primarily
for bottom coatings and gourmet
cookware.
STAINLESSSTEEL. Alone it is a poor
conductor,develops hot spots and
produces uneven cooking results.
However,it is durable,easyto clean,
and somewhat stain resistant.Coat-
ing stainless steel with a copperor
aluminum bottomresultsin an easy-
to-clean,utensil,durable, even cooking
CASTIRON- Slow to conductheat,but
retains the heatwell. Heavytohandle
and must be kept well seasonedto
preventstickingand rusting.
GLASS/GLASS.CERAMIC Transfers
heat slowly and unevenly, but holds
heat well.
Only certain types of glass,_
glasslceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for rangetopservicewithout
breaking dueto thesuddenchangein
temperature. Check and follow
manufacturer'srecommendeduseor
limitationsfor such utensils.

UTENSILSAFETY
Useonly pansthat haveflat bottoms
and handlesthat are easily grasped
and stay cool.Avoid usingunstable,
warped, easily tipped or loose
handledpans. Donot usepansif their
handles twist and cannot be
tightened.Pans that are too heavy to
movewhenfilled with food may also
be hazardous.
Always place a pan of food on a
surface burner before turning it on,
and turn it off before removing the
pan. Be sure you know which knob
controlseach surface burner.
Always turn pan handlesto theside
or back ofappliance,not out intothe
room where they are easily hit or
reached by small children. To
minimizeburns,ignitionofflammable
materials and spillage due to unin-
tentionalcontactwith the utensil,do
not extend handles over adjacent
surface burners.
Be sure utensil is large enoughto
properly contain food and avoid
boilovers. Pan size is particularly
important in deepfat frying. Besure
pan will accommodatethe volumeof
food that isto be addedaswell asthe
bubble action of fat. Never leave a
deepfat frying operationunattended.
Use extreme caption when moving
the greasekettle or disposingof hot
fat.
Always adjust surfaceburnersflame
so that it doesnot extendbeyondthe
bottom of utensil.This instructionis
based on safety considerations.
STORAGEABOVERANGE
To eliminatethe hazard of reaching
over hot surface burners, cabinet
storage should not be provided
directly above ,_unit.
If suchstorageis provided,it should
be limited to items which are used
infrequently and which are safely
stored in an area subjectedto heat
from an appliance.Temperaturesin
storage areas abovethe unit may be
unsafe for some items, such as
volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol
sprays.
VENTILATINGHOOD
To reduce the hazard of storage
above a range, install a ventilating
hood that projectsat least 5inches
beyond the bottom edge of the
cabinets. Clean hood frequently to
preventgrease from accumulating on
hood or itsfilter. Shoulda boiloveror
spillover result in an open flame,
immediatelyturnoff thehood's fan to
avoid spreading the flame. After
thoroughlyextinguishing flame, the
fan may be turned on to remove
unpleasantodor or smoke.
IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
AND WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water
and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986
(Proposition 65) requires the
Governor of California to publish a
list of substances known to the State
of California to cause cancer or re-
productive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of
potential exposures to such
substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby
warned that the burning of gas can
result in low-level exposure to some
of the listed substances, including
benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due
primarily to the incomplete combus-
tion of natural gas or liquid petroleum
(LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners
will minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can
also be minimized by properly
venting the burners to the outdoors.
LEVELINGLEGS
Somefloors are not level. Forproper
baking, your range must be level.
Leveling legs are located on each
cornerof the baseof the range.L_vel
