only cool down slowly to room temperature. Allow sufficient time for the appliance to cool down before, for instance, cleaning it.
▪ Overheated fat and oil can easily catch fire. Heating oil in the cooking
space to sear meat is dangerous and should not be done. Never attempt to
extinguish burning oil or fat with water. Danger of explosion! Smother the
flames with a fire blanket. Keep doors and windows closed.
▪ Do not pour spirits (brandy, whisky, schnapps, etc.) over hot food. Danger
