of the appliance that may become warm or hot.

close to the vent or a surface element.

• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic

items may become hot and cause burns.

DO NOT

pour spirits over

hot foods.

In Case of Fire

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame.
Extinguish flame, then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.
