5.4 General Recommendations.
When cooking, observe the following recommendations:
When turning a knob, check that
the corresponding burner has lit.
While decreasing the flame of a
burner, watch the flame, not the
knob.
Turn the handles of cookware to
the side or backwards so they
won't extend out of the range.
Use proper size cookware. Avoid
the use of unstable or easy tipping
pans.
If you use glass cookware, it must
be refractory.
Do not use pans having a metallic
ring (for example a Wok base), this
ring can act as a heat trap, causing
damage to the grate and burner.
As a result, the level of carbon
monoxide may increase, posing a
health risk.
While cooking with the range, do
not use loose clothing or hanging
accessories.
Be careful when reaching items
stored in cabinets above the range.
Foods to be fried should be as dry
as possible.
Always heat the fat slowly and
watch it during heating.
When flaming a dish in the range,
turn off the extraction hood fan. If
the range is located near a win-
dow, do not use long curtains or
drapes.
Always turn off the burners before
removing the cookware.
Keep plastic items away from
burners. Materials could ignite if in
contact with flames or hot surfaces
of the oven and can cause burns.
Never use water to extinguish an
oil fire. Do not lift a flaming pan,
cover it completely with a lid that
fits tight, or use a metallic sheet, a
cookie baking tray, etc..
Stay away from the range when
opening the oven door. Hot air and
steam that escapes can cause
burns on hands, face and eyes.
When using cooking or roasting
bags in the oven (special bags to
cook certain foods), follow
manufacturer's instructions.
Should you have a grease fire in
the broiler pan, turn off the oven
burner and keep the broiler
compartment closed until the fire
extinguishes.
Never heat unopened food
containers in the oven. Pressure
can build up and the container
could explode causing an accident.
Never let the flames of a burner to
extend beyond the bottom edge of
cookware.
If the oven cavity catches fire,
immediately turn off the oven or
broiler burner (the one in opera-
tion), and keep the door closed
until the fire extinguishes.
