General Precautions

WARNING
• To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium
settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e.
Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate
on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the
surface element.
• To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a range top grease fire, observe
the following:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn
off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out
immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
