Using the Oven
USING PANS CORRECTLY
1. Always ensure that the bottom and handles of pots and pans do not protrude over the
range top.
2. When cooking with flammable fat such as oil, do not leave the range unattended.
3. Only use pots of the appropriate size on each burner.
4. To avoid overflow when boiling liquids, turn the knob to the minimum heat.
5. Always use pots with matching lids.
6. Dry the bottoms of pans before operation.
OVEN COOKING
1. Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or
placing food.
2. DO NOT heat unopened food containers. Pressure build-up may cause container to
burst and result in injury and/or damage to the range.
3. Keep all oven vent ducts unobstructed.
PLACEMENT OF OVEN RACKS
1. Always place oven racks in your desired location while the oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while the oven is hot, DO NOT let potholders or oven mitts make contact with
heating elements in the oven.
2. DO NOT CLEAN DOOR GASKETS. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
3. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OVEN CLEANERS. No commercial oven cleaner or liner
protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Clean
only the parts listed in the manual; before cleaning the oven, remove oven racks and
clean separately.
4. In case of electric power failure, reset oven/broiler controls to the OFF position and do
not attempt to use oven/ broiler until the power has been restored.
