cause severe scalding. The sudden temperature change can also
cause damage to hot enamelled surfaces.
Never pour cold liquids directly onto hot enamelled surfaces.

To prevent burns, always place oven racks at their desired height
while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is
hot, do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements.

Open the door carefully to allow hot air or steam to escape before
placing or removing food.
