Miele KM 5676 Operating And Installation Instructions page 5

Never leave a cooktop unattended
at high settings or when cooking
with oil or fat. Overheated oil could
ignite. Always heat oil slowly,
monitoring it as it heats.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother or use a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher on any fire or
flame.
When frying food make sure that
the food is as dry as possible
before placing it in oil. Moisture can
cause hot oil to splatter and boil over.
At high settings, be cautious of
splattering grease or boiling over
liquids which may produce smoke.
Do not flambé under an exhaust
hood. Flames could be drawn up
into the hood by the suction and the
grease filters may ignite.
Do not heat unopened containers.
Built-up pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.
Before removing pots and pans be
sure to turn off the burners.
