Warning and Safety instructions
Remove splashes of fat and other
food debris from the surface as
soon as possible. These are a fire
hazard.
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil
or fat as these are fire hazards if
overheated. Very hot oil can catch fire
and could even set a cooker hood
above on fire. Always heat fat slowly,
watching as it heats.
If, despite this, oil or fat does catch
fire, do not attempt to put out the
flames with water. Use a suitable fire
extinguisher or fire blanket, saucepan
lid, damp towel or similar to smother the
flames.
8
Do not flambé under a cooker
hood. The flames could set the
cooker hood on fire.
Ensure that the flames from the
burner do not spread out beyond
the base and up the sides of the pan.
