NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.

The cooktop is hot during use and

remains so for some time after being switched off. Be careful not to touch the appliance if it may still be hot.

Protect your hands when working

with a hot appliance - wear oven mitts, and use potholders, etc. Make sure these materials do not come into contact with flames. Specifically, do not use large dishcloths, towels, or the like. Also make sure that the materials do not become damp or wet. This would increase the transfer of heat to your skin, and could cause burns.

appliance may require additional ventilation of the room, e.g., by opening a window, or by setting the exhaust hood to a higher setting.

If the appliance is plugged into a

socket near the appliance, check to be sure that the power cord does not come into contact with the hot appliance. This can damage the insulation on the cord. Danger of electric shock!
