¥ Be sure all packing materials ar e removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packing material ignite. ¥ Be sure your range is corr ectly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used.
¥ Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.
¥ 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. ¥ Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying.
