General information on
cooking

Risk of fire by overheated oil!
When you heat oil, do not leave it
unattended.
Never try to extinguish the fire
with water! When oil has caught
fire, immediately cover the pot or
pan with a lid. Switch off the hob
if safe to do so and phone the fire
service.
e
Ensure handles of pans cannot
accidentally be caught or knocked
and do not get hot by adjacent
heating zones. Avoid pans that are
unstable and easily tipped. Pans
that are too heavy to move easily
when filled can also be a hazard.
Only use flat bottomed pots or
pans.
e
Use pans which have sufficient
capacity for the amount of food
being cooked so they don't boil
over and cause unnecessary
Cleaning.
Do not place lids on the burners.
Always position pans centrally
over the burners. When
transferring pans from one burner
to another always lift the pans do
not slide them.
