EN
• GREASE IS FLAMMABLE: Allow hot
grease to cool before attempting to
handle it. Do not allow deposits of
grease to accumulate.
• DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE
FIRES: Turn the appliance off and
smother the fire with baking soda or use
a dry chemical or a foam-type
extinguisher.
• 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.
• USE ONLY DRY POTHOLDERS: Moist
or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
cause burns from steam. Do not allow
potholders to touch hot surface burners.
Do not use towels or other bulky cloth in
place of potholders.
• Never allow garments, potholders or
other flammable materials to come into
direct or indirect contact with burners
until they have completely cooled.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS
OR THE INSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE:
During and after use, do not touch areas
near burners until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Do not allow
garments or any flammable material to
come into contact with hot surfaces. If
personal clothing or hair catches on fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish
the flames.
• Do not leave the packing materials
around the home. Sort the various items
of waste and take them to the nearest
specialized waste collection facility.
• Whenever possible, do not operate the
ventilation system during a cooktop fire.
However, do not reach through fire to
turn it off.
• Do not obstruct the vents or openings for
air intake.
