Proper relationship of utensii to heating element will also improve efficiency. • Make sure reflector pans are in place. Absence of these pans during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage. • Do not use aluminium foil to line surface unit reflector pans. Installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire. • Do not soak removable heating elements. They should never be immersed in water. • Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface units. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with utensil, the handle of a utensii should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units. • 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. Overloading the pan with fat can cause spillovers when food is added. • If oils or fats will be combined when frying, stir them together before heating as fats melt slowly. • Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats. • Use a deep-fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point. • Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool. • When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking. • 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. • Do not use the oven as a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite. 4 Continued on next page i6om:6/Ri> / • Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face, and eyes. • Keep the oven free from grease buildup. • Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. • Place the oven shelves in the desired position while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven. • Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury. • Do not use aluminium foil anywhere in the oven except as described in the manual. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage to the range. • When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer instructions. • Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use in electric ovens. • Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminium foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. • To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of cabinets. - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTION 5 iw)i i i:nk Ce manuel est également adapté pour les modèles : Fours électriques - DER24CSS (632.68 kb) Fours électriques - ER24AW (632.68 kb)
