Cooking Safety Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner flame. Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance. NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers can cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. Do not use high heat for extended cooking operations. NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could result in risk of personal electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide. Utensil Safety Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using pans (especially small pans) with heavy handles, as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous. Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat. NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface burner or in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst, resulting in serious personal injury or To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do not extend handles over adjacent surface burners. Always damage to the appliance. Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by small children. should never be used as potholders because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance. on appliance parts.
