When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including those in the following pages. Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of transport damage, do not plug it in. Fire Safety Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry. If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be certain that flammable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burners or elements. They could catch on fire. Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen. Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE: a. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings. b. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat. c. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. d. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element. Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to deposits on the grease filter! In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames. Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance. Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires. EVAS ESEHT SNO I TCURTSN I WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: a.

DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result. d. Use an extinguisher ONLY if: - You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it. - The fire is small and contained in the area where it started. - The fire department is being called. - You can fight the fire with your back to an exit. Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.
