Safety
English 5
• Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and
easily accessible near the oven.
• Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda.
Never use water on cooking fires.
• Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop
fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.
Burn Prevention • DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface
units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact sur-
face units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF
OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable mate-
rials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot
enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, sur-
faces near these openings and oven doors.
• Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open
the door (or drawer) slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape.
Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or
pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with
your cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning
purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.
• Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause injury.
• Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack
must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating
elements.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food
(i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').
• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bub-
bling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting.
Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
• Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
• SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray,
then turn off the burner. EXERCISE CAUTION TO PREVENT BURNS. If
the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—You may be burned.
• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet rags or towels—a violent steam
explosion will result.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You know you have a CLASS ABC extinguisher and you already
know how to operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3) The fire department is being called.
4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
