In Case of Fire
Turn o appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the ame. Extinguish ame, then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.
• Smother re or ame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.
• NEVER pick up or move a aming pan.
• DO NOT use water on grease res. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother re or ame.
Cooking Safety
• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface element before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface element. Make
sure the correct element is turned on. When cooking is completed, turn element o before removing pan.
• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended, especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boil overs
cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended
cooking operations.
• NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface element. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious
personal injury or damage to the appliance.
• Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used
as pot holders because they can trail across hot surface elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle.
• DO NOT let cooking grease or other ammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood, or vent fan. Clean hood
frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or lter. When aming foods under the hood, turn the fan o .

lled with food may also be hazardous.
• Be sure cookware is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boil overs. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying.
Pan should accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.
• To minimize burns, ignition of ammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, DO NOT extend
handles over adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they
