General safety instructions
2.3 Operating the device safely
WARNING!
!
 Use long matches or long lighters to light the burner.
Quickly remove your hand as soon as the burner ignites.
 Wear proper clothing when operating the stove.
Do not wear hanging garments which can catch fire.
NOTICE!
A
 Let the stove cool down to ambient temperature before you
touch it with bare hands.
 Keep the area surrounding the stove and interior parts free of
grease, fat, alcoholic substances, plastic or inflammable cloths
(for instance curtains, towels, kitchen utensils).
 Use only pots and pans with flat bottoms and with a maximum
diameter of 23 cm (9"). The pots and pans should be large
enough to cover the heating element. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper sized utensils will also improve efficiency.
 When cooking ensure that pans and pots are securely in posi-
tion. Recommended is the use of pot holders (fig. 2 2, page 2,
accessory).
 Never allow pot handles to extend beyond the edge of the stove.
Turn pot handles inward, but not extending over other burners.
This will minimize the possibility of spillage, ignition of flamma-
ble materials and/or serious burns.
 Be careful when heating grease or oil. Grease and oil catch fire
when exposed to great heat.
 Use only dry pot cloths to prevent the formation of steam. Do not
use towels or the like instead of pot cloths as these can catch
fire.
 Never leave the stove unattended when cooking. Pots boiling
over can cause smoke and fires.
 Move the burner control (fig. 2 1, page 2) to the off position
before removing the pot.
 Do not use the stove to heat the environment.
