If the appliance is switched on by mistake, or if there is residual
heat present, there is the risk of any metal items placed on the wok
heating up. Other materials can melt or catch fire when the appliance
is switched on. Do not use the wok as a resting place for anything.
You could burn yourself on the hot wok. Protect your hands with
heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot items. Do not
let them get wet or damp. Heat transfers through damp and wet ma-
terial more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself. En-
sure that they do not come into contact with the flames. Do not use
large cloths, tea towels, or similar as the ends could touch the
flames and catch fire.
When using an electrical appliance (e.g., a hand mixer) near the
wok, make sure that the power cord does not come into contact with
the hot wok. The cord's insulation could become damaged.
Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high tem-
peratures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware.
Pressing the knob generates a spark on the ignitor. Do not press
the knob while you are cleaning or touching the wok or a burner in
the vicinity of an ignitor.
A ventilation hood installed above the wok can become damaged
or catch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not use the wok burner
without cookware.
Only light the burners after all burner parts have been properly as-
sembled.
If the cookware is too small, it will not sit properly on the burner
grate. If the cookware is too large, heat emitted from the bottom of
the cookware may damage the countertop, walls with poor heat-re-
sistance (e.g. paneled walls) or portions of the cooktop.
Make sure that the burner flames do not extend beyond the bot-
tom of the cookware and rise up its sides.
