Safety and warnings

Hot Surface Hazard

Make sure the elements or gas burners
of the cooking surface always have
pans/pots on them and never heat the
filter(s) of your appliance directly.
When frying, never leave pans
unattended as there is a risk of the oil
overheating and catching fire.
If reusing frying oil, the risk of fire is
greater.
Never prepare flambé (flame-cooked)
dishes under the appliance.

WARNING!

To avoid fire hazard, make sure that
no grease deposits accumulate on the
surface of the appliance or the filter(s).
Read the instructions on care and
cleaning carefully. There could be a risk
of fire if the instructions are not carefully
followed.

Failure to follow this advice could result
in burns and scalds.
