~
Before removing pots and pans, be
sure to turn off the burners.
~
Do not store items on the appliance
when not in use. Items could melt or
catch fire from residual heat or if the
cooktop is turned on inadvertently.
~
Never cover the cooktop with a
cloth. A fire could result.
~
Never leave the cooktop unattended
when cooking with oil or fat.
Overheated fat could ignite. Always
heat oil slowly, monitoring it as it heats.
~
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother any fire or flame, or use a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
~
When frying food, make sure that
the food is as dry as possible before
placing it in the oil. Moisture can cause
hot oil to splatter and boil over.
~
Do not flambé under an exhaust
hood. Flames could be drawn up into
the hood by the suction or the grease
filters may ignite.
~
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate on the
appliance.
~
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
garments when operating the cooktop,
they may present a fire hazard.
~
Flammable materials should not be
stored on or near your appliance.
~
If there is a drawer directly
underneath the appliance without any
wooden base in between, ensure that
no aerosols, combustible liquids or
other easily flammable materials are
kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be
placed in the drawer, they must be
made of heat-resistant material.
