SURFACE COOKING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire. If the burner flames are smothered
by a severe boilover which affects the igniter,
unburned gas will escape into the room.
•
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back of
the rangetop without extending over adjacent
burners.
•
•
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
•
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.
•
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.
•
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
•
stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
•
designed for top-of-rangetop cooking.
•
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
•
may result in carbon monoxide poisoning,
overheating of the rangetop surfaces, or a
potential fire hazard.

Doing so
• avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers and
spillovers and large enough to cover burner
grate. This will save cleaning time and prevent
hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy
spattering or spillovers left on the rangetop
can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be
easily grasped and remain cool.
•
they may melt if left too close to the vent or
burner.
•
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the OFF position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
• Let hot grease cool
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect in the grill or the
griddle grease troughs (some models). Clean
these areas after each use.
•
It may be necessary to clean these
when there is a boilover or when the burner
does not light, even though the electronic
igniters click.
•
Incorrect alignment
will produce poor burner performance. Never
operate the burner without all burner parts in
place.
•
steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth
to clean the rangetop while it is hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface. Follow manufacturer's directions.
•
•
not hang long curtains that could blow over
the surface burners and create a fire hazard.
