Take care when touching the range in order to
minimize the possibility of burns; always be certain
that the controls are in the OFF position and that it is
cool before attempting to clean the range.
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
In the interests of hygiene and safety, the range should be
kept clean at all times as a build up of fats and other food
stuff could result in a fire.
Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains etc. a safe
distance away from your range.
DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the range
while it is in use.
DO NOT
store or use combustible materials, or flammable
liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they will ignite
if they get too hot.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent
overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
NEVER leave a deep fry pan unattended. Always
heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans
should be only a maximum of one third full of fat.
Filling the pan too full of fat can cause overspill
when food is added. If you use a combination of oils
or fats in frying, stir them together before heating,
or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen
foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or
overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high
temperatures.
NEVER
try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fry pan. Wait until the fat is cool.
When an oven is on,
DO NOT
use the top of the flue (the
round holes along the back of the range) for warming plates,
dishes, drying dish towels or softening butter.
When using an electrical appliance near the cooktop, be sure
that the cord of the appliance does not come into contact
with the cooktop.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated at all times. Use
extractor fans or hoods when installed.
The range is designed for cooking foods only and must not
be used for any other purpose.
The oven should
NOT
