Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or

●

Only certain types of glass,

others may break

because of the sudden change in temperature.

●

Do not immerse or soak the removable surface

●

When flaming foods are under the hood, turn

the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.

●

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat

frying.
