bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers and large enough to
cover burner grate. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food,
since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily
grasped and remain cool
• Always use file LITEposition
(on elecuic
ignition
models)
or the HI position
(on
standing
pilot models)
when igniting
top
burners
and make sure the burners
have
ignited.
• Never leave smthce
burners
