Fire Safety
Save these instructions.
Set the burner control so that the flame
does not extend beyond the bottom of the
pan.
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper
or cloth to come in contact with a hot
surface element, burner or grate. Do not
allow pans to boil dry.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air
vent or fan, be certain that flammable
materials such as window coverings do
not blow over or near the burners or
elements. They could catch on fire.
Always have a working smoke detector
near the kitchen.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when
in use. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may ignite.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
GREASE FIRE:
1.
Never leave surface units
unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Heat oils slowly on low or medium
settings.
2.
Always turn hood ON when
cooking at high heat or when
flambéing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
3.
Clean ventilating fans frequently.
Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
4.
Use proper pan size. Always use
cookware appropriate for the size
of the surface element.
In the event that personal clothing or hair
catches fire, drop and roll immediately to
extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than
grease fires with baking soda. Never use
water on cooking fires.
Take care that drafts like those from fans
or forced air vents do not push the flames
so that they extend beyond the edges of
the pan.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher
available, nearby, highly visible and easily
accessible near the appliance.
