Sears 73321 Impact Driver User Manual


 
= Adjust top burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous_
. Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam°
Do not let pot holders come near open flames
when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn cook-
ware handles toward the side or back of the
range without letting them extend over adjacent
burners.
Always turn surface burner to OFF before
removing cookware.
° Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that
are necessary for the range to operate properly
with correct combustion. Air openings are locat-
ed in the following places:
--Oven vent at the rear of the cooktop.
--Air intake under the kick panel°
--Air vent at the top of the oven door.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if
the wok has a round metal ring that is placed
over the burner grate to support the wok.
This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage
the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may
cause the burner to work improperly. This may
cause a carbon monoxide level above that
allowed by current standards, resulting in a
health hazard.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possi-
ble. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
sides of pan.
° Use least possible amount of fat for effec-
tive shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan
too full of fat can cause spi!fovers when food is
added°
, if a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
o Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.
Use deep-fat thermometer whenever possi-
ble to prevent overheating fat beyond the smok-
ing point.
° Use proper pan size. Avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped° Select cookware with
flat bottoms large enough to cover burner
grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware
is large enough to contain food properly. This will
both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous
accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or
spillovers left on the range can ignite. Use pans
with handles that can be easily grasped and will
remain cool.
o When using glass cookware, make sure it is
designed for top-of-range cooking.
o Keep all plastics away
from top burners.
o Do not leave plastic
items on the cook-
toputhey may melt if
left too close to the
vent.
° Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items
and will increase pressure in closed containers,
which may cause them to burst.
° To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the OFF position and all grates are cool
before attempting to remove a grate.
When flaming foods are under the hood,
turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may
spread the flames.
. If range is located near a window, do not use
long curtains that could blow over the top burn-
ers and create a fire hazard.
If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never use
an open flame to locate a leak.
