IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Correct use
Do not leave the rangetop unattended when cooking on high
power. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter,
which can ignite on the range.
Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches
fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water.
Turn off the rangetop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable
fire blanket.
Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing
agent or foam fire extinguisher.
Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should not be
stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the rangetop.
The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.
Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.
Never heat empty cookware.
Do not heat up food in closed containers, as pressure will build up
in the container, causing them to explode. Do not use the rangetop
to boil or heat up cans.
If the rangetop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the
cover will ignite, explode or if the range is still hot or if turned on in-
advertently. Never cover the range with a board, cloth, or protective
sheet.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g., a hand mixer, near the
rangetop, make sure that the power cable does not come into con-
tact with the hot range. The cable's insulation could become dam-
aged.
Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high tem-
peratures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware.
